Which gaskets for exhaust manifolds...

[chris1972]

I've seen a few a varying prices. The genuine LR are very expensive.

Any recommendations and are they the same for all engines as mine is a 500? Here are a few I've seen.

I used Gaskets from TVR Power. unless you collect they have min £20 spend for orders may worth thinking about something else too

Have several different length 14mm spanners available makes the job far easier also you can buy new manifold bolts.

what i did was before i did the job was the night before spray some GT85 or WD40 liberally around all the nuts

Cheers for that! Got the removal advice on a previous thread, just want to know about the gaskets.

I've also used the ones advertised on TVR classified parts.

They are large ported and are used on Tuscan challenge motors iirc.

No worries - had a set of ACT ones that I lost and so bought another set and have subsequently found again.
