All,
I'm looking for good ideas on how to seal the 582 exhaust
ball joints. I've used copper anti-seize in the past but it just
blows out. (My joints don't fit very well for some reason.) Today I
re-worked the joints to fit better but I thought there might be some
good ideas out there as to how to seal them while leaving them
flexible. (I had an idea of brazing them together, then knocking out
the male piece, leaving a perfect fitting bronze bushing, but I
haven't tried it yet.)

I've achieved success with these by lapping the ball joint pairs with valve
grinding paste. Still need the copper slip though.
Unfortunately I then had some additional spring hooks welded on and the
welder managed to irrecoverably distort them (in a vice, rather than
weld-distortion).
