manifold gasket

[beanieboy]

Hi just enquiring about I'm replacing my manifold gasket on my 2.8rd can I just bolt it on without any sealants.


cheers Archie.

depends on what the gasket looks like,
those silver looking jobs dont need any goo that I know of

[beanieboy]

no it the other one the dark grey type.

I can either use the gasket cement or the ultra blue silicone .

[threedogs]

I used to smear some hi temp RTV on that style more to hold it in place

[threedogs]

Is the gasket cement gritty to feel, ??

[beanieboy]

Its the old permatex gasket goo

[threedogs]

something at the back of my mind says rub oil on it then fit,
but that may be an old school thing

Read the ultra blue tube

Don't need sealant for manifold gaskets
