Hi all, could anyone please help me with the exact size of WSPCL 1628 F9 EXHAUST TUBE?
The one I have is the wrong size and difficult to fit! I have put a clamp on the top and bottom and it still leaks!
Thanks' John.

Can't help you with exhaust size, but mine also leaks at top and bottom, i.e. slight trickle of oil coming out. The clamps could only be so tight. If the leaks is explosive puffs of smoke errupting from the ends that's a different story....
Try some "Gasket maker" in the joints (don't know what will be your trade name, but its a red silicone based glue, also recommended for the head gasket) to seal it off if the fit is not quite tight enough. May be hard to remove the exhaust tube later.

Can't tell you the exact size, but suffice to say it's quite a tight fit. So much so that most of them need a bit of a clout to fit to the block. So it's just possible that yours isn't actually a Century exhaust.
There are aluminium pipe sections available from builders' merchants that are nearly the right size - is it possible one of these has made its way onto your motor?
