What type of silicon is used on the manifolds? Most high temp stuff states temps up to 350 degrees C max which is not hot enough for the manifolds is it surely?

I've got some Loctite stuff which came from TVR Power.

Could be wrong (as per usual), but I thought the exhaust manifold used these rather expensive gaskets?

I bought the loctite from TVR power too, pricy & I'm sure there is other stuff that will do it, but with the hassle involved in getting to them, I'd rather know I sealed it correctly 1st time - worth the £35 to me smile

The only gaskets on the AJP are the head gaskets - everything else is silicone sealant or O rings.
