Hey folks!
I'm doing an exhaust manifold swap (top secret test project in the works). As I removed the manifold, I expected the gasket to stay in place: either on the manifold itself, or on the block.
It didn't.
The gasket is very thin metal, and...as a bonus...there are individual gaskets for each outlet!
Upon reassembly, how are these supposed to be aligned/stacked?
Are the single gaskets just shims for proper spacing?
I'll guess here:
-Block
-single gasket
-5-hole gasket
-single gasket
-Exhaust Manifold
The service manual just says "replace the gasket". No specifics or details at all.
Any help is appreciated. TIA.
