				Thanks to all for the "right on point" advises provided- was able to remove the exhaust after spraying, then heating the collar with a propane torch. Now- I can't tighten it up because the insert is rotating - the little pins that were holding it seem to be missing. Looking for options. Thanks again!

  There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
  Here's how it works...  As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
  the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
  to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
  Raiser messages for the rest of the month!  Its just that simple!   
  
  I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
  the Lists.  It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
  and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one.  It also goes
  to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
  bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
  on.  I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
  allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
  reliably and performance.  Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
  with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
  up and running.  I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
  Lists sites.  I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
  so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
  it on my Email List sites.
  
  If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
  Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

  Hello:
  About a half-inch play was discovered after the post-flight inspection,
  the exhaust pipe is loose at the point where it goes to the cylinder. Tried
  to tight it with zero success. I would appreciate for the advice.
  
  Thanks!
  Serge

  It sounds like the exhaust section collar is "frozen" to the exhaust
  port insert.  Caused by rust on the threads of the exhaust collar.
  
  You can try spraying such things as P B Blaster or Mouse Milk around the
  threads and let it soak in for a few hours.  It might loosen the rust
  around the threads of the collar enough where you can rotate it.  You
  could also try heating the collar with a propane torch and then try
  loosening it first, then tightening it.  Don't assume just because you
  can tighten it that everything is just fine.  You _will_ need to remove
  it anyway because there is a "donut" that fits between the flange of the
  exhaust section flare and the exhaust port of the cylinder.  It may be
  totally missing.  If it is, the exhaust section will not fit properly
  against the exhaust port.  You will need to purchase one from M14P
  before you reinstall the exhaust section and tighten it up.
  
  If the collar is rotating and it is seized to the threads, you really
  should remove the cylinder and send it to Jill at M14P and let them do
  their magic loosening the collar AND re-staking the exhaust port insert,
  which is a left hand thread.

  After soaking it with PBS Blaster shock the joint by tapping on it firmly with
  a brass or sand hammer. That should help to break the seized threads loose.
