Hey I am just finishing up cleaning my boiler tubes and need to know what type of sealant/stove cement to use to seal up the top plate. I just took the top plate of to get the turbs out as others here have suggested. It has a cloth gasket, but it looks like it also had some high temp silicone as well.
As a side not, my boiler tubes were pretty dirty, almost an 1/8 inch of creosote. A regular steal brush would not touch it so I got a boiler scraper. I will try to post a pic of it later. It worked great. I had everything clean in about 10 mins. with the scraper on a power drill. It was only about $40 from Mc-master carr.
