Hi there,
I'm new to the forum and am looking for some advice. I have an Intrepid 2 1990 which I recently replaced the gaskets and catalyst on. The reason for doing that is that the cat was shot and had bits of metal falling out of it and the seals hadn't been done in years.
I'm having an issue now where I close the damper and main air vent around 550 degrees on the stove top and the temp will spike over 600 degrees. Yesterday it even got up to 700 degrees. I remember reading temps above 600 will cause damage to the catalyst.
Does anyone know if this is normal and if not, any suggestions on how to prevent these spikes?
Many thanks in advance.
