Manifold gaskets

[Meatball]

What do you seal the new gaskets with, i cant for the life of me remember what i used last time.
Thanks

[brett84]

do you mean the exhaust gaskets mate? i just used the metal ones and they seal fine on their own

[carsy]

Yes dont use anything.

[Simon says]

Nope never used anything Ben just the composite metal gaskets

[brett84]

use the metal gaskets they have a compression part so you dont need anything.

top tip if you want to save LOADS of messing around, on the manifolds, cut the bottom holes into slots (cut straight down). Then you can put the studs into the head, and slot the manifold ontop Saves messing around from all those stupid angles underneath

Nice one guys, I'm pretty sure I used something last time? I'll check when I take them off

I used a thin smear of this stuff
Pro-seal hi-temp Silicone instant gasket
linky
I can't say if it worked or not though as I've done less than 100 miles since refitting the manifolds.
