I run a pipe guard and I also bent the head pipe to where it was nearly touching the frame. The pipe just barely covered the outer o-ring on the cylinder head and leaked badly. I bent the pipe back into shape by heating it with a mapp torch and using a large pipe stuffed into the end of the exhaust pipe for leverage. I could see that the head pipe needed to be bent back almost 1/2 inch so I measured from the edge of the head pipe to the other end of the exhaust pipe for reference then I kept bending till I got a measurement that was 1/2 inch shorter. Worked like a charm.
