Exhaust manifolds - Gasket or no gasket? By holliday - 09/24/2002 11:47:13 PM; IP 64.12.96.76 I have removed the exhaust manifolds from the 428 and have had them planed as much as possible, but there is some minor pitting on the tops of a few of the ports. I have had very strong recommendations from experienced people who say to use exhaust manifold gaskets and to NOT use manifold gaskets. What is the downside to using them? Should I just use some high temp copper gasket maker? I have a set of FelPro gaskets that will fit the 428 manifolds. I really want to lose the exhaust leaks and don't want to do this job again so any help is greatly appreciated in getting these manifolds to seal!

This thread, so far...
