THANK YOU for your good explanation and prompt response.

I did manage to clean the old gasket material off the manifold and there is no pitting or warpage of the surface....in the original photo the #5 cyl was misfiring and maybe that's part of the problem of coolant showing on the old gasket....

I will reinstall the new one with some RTV sealant just to be on the safe side.

Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for the tone of my previous remarks.

No problem, you will soon see the way it works on LZ.co.uk

Did you clean all the face with nail polish remover (15% acetone)

If coolant was going into cyl5 then plug and valves will be incrusted white with coolant

I've cleaned both mating surfaces with brake cleaner and they are spotless now. I did not use acetone, just brake cleaner and scraped off the old gasket and sealant.

I did take out the front plugs and replaced them with new ones (NGK). As far as the valves there isn't much I can do about them and I'm sure the residue will burn off when the engine is running again.

BTW, the new intake gasket from LR is different than the old gasket...It covers less surface area but all the holes line up fine....Photo of the new gasket is below:

Whilst the manifold is off, change the thermostat housing, plastic elbow and plastic pipe to the water pump (including two clips ) they tend to break at the 'O' rings and are a pig to get at with the manifold on.
Also I seal everything with HYLOMAR, if its good enough for Rolls Royce's it will do for me.

Thanks for the tips!

I ordered all the plastic pieces I need to change everything while the intake manifold is off. Hopefully I won't have to mess with them again.

Just a quick one, has anyone ever looked up the meaning of Merkin. Check wiki (when you do remember, as stated by Mr Bush, all Septics are Merkins!!!)LOL.:p
