    Hey I recently bought a 1992 360. when I tried to take the gas tank off, the petcock on the right side interferes with the exhaust, so I had to tediously remove the petcock. Does that mean the whole exhaust pipe has been tweaked? Also on the left there is a y joint in the radiator hose which rests on the exhaust.

    Also, the o-ring gasket in the exhaust is broken, is there a specific replacement I need or can I just get an oring from ace hardware?

    ya it's likely been bent good by now. take old O ring there to compare what's in stock.

    the exhaust o-ring is a Husky part, heat type o-ring
    the exhaust will need to be jigged and straightened, or take it to someone that can heat and reshape
    the y should not be touching but one of mine is very close and never had an issue

    A bearing service etc should be able to replace the O ring. You need a Viton for heat and oil etc resistance. I 'glued' mine back in the pipe recess with high temp silicone and works fine.

    Ok so I bought a really thick O ring at the hardware store so maybe that will work, if it fails I will look into finding a good heat proof one. I'm not going to worry about reshaping the exhaust though, I'll find an fmf pipe for it sooner or later :)

    if its a 92 it has an odd exhaust, there is no new replacement for it
    the 92 was the first 360 and 93 the went to a different pipe configuration
    is your head pipe over or in the exhaust port?
