Re: Powerhead base damage
Here?s a blow up of the exhaust housing. The actual gasket has a cut out where the front chamber is. If the chamber highlighted in blue is not connected to the exhaust system in any way I shouldn?t have a problem? I will need to take a closer look when I have it...

If it were that thin wouldn't it just bend where the damage is? The front horizontal mounting botls are 5/8", probably not a lot of play there. Here?s the parts diagram with what I was thinking for modifying the exhaust housing.
