- I'm just about to replace the manifold gasket on my 77B, and wondered about using a gasket compound. I have never use one before on this, but would be interested in the thoughts of the group. Inciden

- I've never used anything on this gasket, and never had a problem. I tried using thicker gaskets of different materials, and still had problems. Final solution was to pull and replace those studs, wh

- Thanks for the reply, and I wish I could convert to the SU's. Unfortunately, if I stay in California I have to wait until 2007 before I can make that switch! This is my first US car (previous cars w

- In the next week, hopefully, I will be replacing a manifold gasket and left front motor mount since I already have the manifold, ZS carb, and air cleaner and filter off the car. Any tips or advice on

- There is not trick on the manifold gasket, except to make sure the torques are The motor mount is a different story. You might be able to file down a wrench to fit between the steering shaft and the

- All I can add is that if the gasket has metal on one side only, that side goes toward the head. When I did mine during a SU conversion from the ZS I used no sealer of any type (holes were fairly snu

- I always figured the metal side should go towards the heat too, which is why I always put it with the metal side toward the manifold. The head is water cooled and the exhaust manifold is not. Under h
