George, thanks for the advice on the sealing material. My AI told me he uses aluminum hi speed tape inside the clamps on his 210. (Why didn't he seal mine when he installed the mufflers?) That's what we'll try tomorrow- I'll keep everyone posted on the results.

I did extend the tailpipes and it did no good. I also sealed the left gear leg opening- the right one has no exhaust stains. Cabin heat makes no difference- on or off it's the same reading. So maybe that is the problem. The right exhaust muff is new- a year old- and I pressure tested the left one- f...

After reading this thread I bought a CO detector- a Senco Model One for $75 from AeroMedix. There is a slight exhaust odor in my airplane. The CO readings on the ground are zero but in flight its 28 ppm with the vents open and up to 57 with the vents closed. The heater does not seem to make much dif...

Joe, good luck on the repairs- a bummer ! I had a spring break after stupidly letting a mechanic bend it after heating it. The heat destroyed the spring's temper and the spring broke, very luckily just after I pulled up in front of my hangar after refueling. Amazingly, the only damage was to the spr...

Just as a point of interest, I knew a pilot who raced a P-63 in the Thompson Trophy race. His engine blew at low altitude but he was hauling. So he pulled up to a few hundred feet and bailed out successfully. The P-63 did have small side doors on both sides of the cockpit, probably no bigger than a ...
