4AD gaskets - manifold and exhaust pipe
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2016 3:43 am
All,
Had to pull the intake/exhaust manifold for repair. Received it back and trying to find a place I can acquire a gasket set. E-bay didn't turn up anything (maybe a guy in UK, maybe). Other searches have also resulted in a goose-egg.
Searched the forum and what I find is many have made your own. My mechanic and I tried gasket sealant as well as a hand-made manifold-to-exhaust-pipe gasket and it too is leaking. Both are leaking badly. Exhaust is spitting out smoke (we can try to tighten bolts and a new gasket, not too worried about finding a fix for that).
BUT...the manifold-block sealant is leaking coolant from the elbow piece that attaches to the manifold/block. I'd rather do it right than Gerry-rig something or makeshift a gasket set.
Anyone know of place to get a legit set?
Many thanks.
