Question 1

Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

A manifold gasket is a sheet of material designed as an exact fit to be installed between two mating surfaces of either the intake or exhaust manifold and engine block to create a static seal, which will maintain the leakage proof sealing in all operating conditions. To ensure that you get the correct gasket, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed gaskets. Some important information for selecting the correct part is the type of gasket design needed (composite or metal), thickness, number of holes/ notches, bore diameter and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some head gaskets will only be suitable for particular models of certain years. Note: It is always a good idea to replace manifold bolts with new ones when replacing the gasket to reduce the risk of premature failure.

Question 3

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

An exhaust-manifold gasket is more likely to need renewing than the gasket on the intake manifold, because of the greater damage caused to the exhaust system by heat; but the procedure is much the same for both. A 'blown' exhaust gasket can be detected by excessive noise from the exhaust, and by white burn marks around the manifold flange. Replacing manifold gaskets can be performed at home with a few simple tools. Before removing either manifolds, apply penetrating oil to all nuts or bolts which must be undone. When the nuts or bolts are removed, the remains of the old gasket may cause the manifold to stick: tap the manifold with a rawhide hammer to loosen it. If any manifold studs are broken or damaged, remove them using self-locking grips, two nuts and a spanner, or stud remover. After reassembly, run the engine to working temperature, switch it off and check the torque settings.
