matt_gumpym35 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey folks, has anyone replaced exhaust manifold gaskets? Got a nice leak on the drivers side. Hope its the gasket.. can it be changed with the motor in the car? TIA!

scotty nm35 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It probably isn't the gasket, they are stainless MLS gaskets. Good chance there is a broken stud, or the manifold is cracked. There are 6 studs holding the manifold to the block, and three bolting that to the crossover pipe. You will need a hoist to fix this one I would say. Just be glad it isn't the turbo side.

scotty nm35 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have a few second hand parts laying around if you need something. Find the leak first. Yep, I have 2 good non Hicas subframes here at the moment.
