Hi guys, I'm getting ready to bolt the exhaust manifolds onto my 3.5 for my factory MGB-GT V-8. The factory recommends 13 foot-pounds for the bolt torque, but that is for the original specification w
While there are no illustrations of an exhaust manifold gasket in the MGB GT V8 Workshop Manual Supplement, I can't believe that these engines were built (by the factory) without them. It is almost
