manifold order.

joe27979 · Feb 16, 2014

decided to remove exhaust and inlet manifold so I can re-gasket and discount any air leaks etc that may attribute my random misfire.

so, what goes on first?
inlet to exhaust - then to head?
inlet on head, then exhaust on head then join them together?

I'm sure someone posted the best way to assemble on here a while back but I can't find thread!

Bolt em together and then fit to head as 1 unit. Tis how I did mine anyway and if your changing the gasket for the carb hot spot thingy I think it's the only way of doing it

Put them together first (but only finger tight) bolt them to head and then tighten the two manifolds together - only way to get a gas tight seal to the head in my experience

cheers guys, I have the two head inlet metal gaskets, one head exhaust gasket, one square inlet/exhaust gasket and a selection of new nut. Also purchased a de-coke kit and an exhaust assembly kit so hoping I have all the bits required to do the change!

You may find you don't need the two inlet gaskets, I think the long gasket does both inlet and exhaust or the one I got did anyway! Don't quote me but think originally it was just the inlet that used a gasket the exhaust was straight to head

...I found life much easier using the all in one type gasket rather than separate metal gaskets (links below for both petrol and diesel type)

cheers for that, I'll use the single gasket (I have 2 anyway) and will just save the metal ones in case I need to take up any warpage later lol

manifold order.
