Thanks Peter,

Not sure what the sleeved one is (the Rotax style?) but I have a CKT muffler 
purchased 3+ years ago. Just a ball(ish) or taper looking ring at the end of 
the tube.

What is this Honda copper gasket you use?

I looked at it again today and in reality the leak is very minor and no obvious 
gap is visible. But again I am concerned about deterioration of the aluminum 
surface on the head.

For now I ordered the Hylomar seal compound and I will thoroughly clean the 
surfaces and will reinstall with that.

I also heard something about Bud having a lapping procedure for this. I 
appreciate all advice.

Chris
