Heater Matrix Splitting and Resealing?

[306Puggy]

Just to quell any rumours of splitting the heater matrix from the bulkhead pipes causing a leak, it doesn't. I don't know why it was the accepted wisdom that it does because there are two O rings between the bulkhead pipes and the heater matrix which would seal the join. I ran the engine and checked whilst the dashboard was still off-no sign of any leaks. I would highly recommend this method unless there is some reason to replace the bulhead pipes otherwise you would just be causing yourself extra work.
