Burn out RT1 exaust? was created by rachter

Just wondering if I can damage the exhaust on my 70 RT1 by doing the campfire burnout to clean out the carbon and oil.
I saw somewhere on here that there could be a problem with damage to the packing or baffles?
Thanx

HI Rachter, It is unlikely that the baffles would be harmed. Sometimes when making sleeper pipes we would see that the tubro spark arrestor clogged up with carbon. After burning out the carbon/oil in the pipe I would CAREFULLY using a small diameter welding rod knock off the carbon clogging the spark arrestor.
