Questions for you guys that might be blowing out these exhaust gaskets, or just some of you that are monitoring your exhaust temperature, what temperatures is your exhaust under extreme conditions and normal operations?

Its a lawn mower motor.. Ever seen a lawn mower with a pyrometer?

This is a modified lawn mower motor and I am checking to see if anyone has seen any similarities to what I am experiencing. A lot of the guys that race lawn mower engines, do monitor their exhaust temperature with a pyrometer and I have looked into that, but there is really nothing to compare it wil because they use different exhausts. Any help would be appreciated.

Sell the oil leakin PD and go back to a stock one you wont blow a exhaust gasket anymore and I bet it wont leak oil either.

Doesn't leak oil as far as I know, but I guess I wouldn't know since I am the owner of it.

Thats not what yoou told me. You said its no big deal cause its like getting a oil change everyonce in a while, or was that somone else I was talking too. I guess i would say it didint leak oil on here too If I was trying to sell it.

lower unit leaked oil until i changed it

its no longer on here as far as i know

well as far a exhaust goes my muffler will get red hot when im running arcoss the lake in the morning

I can take the air off my arms with it if i even get near it or the oil filter. You can feel the heat of the motor when you get near it at all, might get my neighbor who is a firefighter to hit it with the thermal gun and see what it runs.
