the nuts usually do fall off!! if your getting a popping through the exhaust on overrun then the gaskit is leaking a bit...as to weather its affecting your pref.on boost then it decides on how loose the manifold is??
i`ll get some new nuts on it asap!!! yeah 2b honest over the last couple of wks high up the revs she has been poppin abit...Originally Posted by michael tierney
if it's been loose you'd be as well to swap the gasket, chances are it's damaged.
cool! might aswell change that then while ive got the carb etc off, just ordered some heat wrap+ties also...... cheers
anyone got the part number for the mani gasket?
Here you go Adey
77 00 855 962 GASKET MANIFOLD 11.52
The price I have mentioned above could be well out as my diaologys are not the most up to date version.

Yes mate, i did mine before xmas
yeah i def put them on when i changed the engine
vibration must have spun them off over time.....
it happens,just use some new binx nuts that will help
I struggled real bad doing it in the car.
My exhaust manifold had extra metel though compared to other ones I've seen.
the later type manifold is webbed making the inlet hard to remove!!
anyone got any tips for changing the manifold gasket?? what needs2 come off etc: ordered 1 a few days ago.... its poppin like a *******yet another job for the wknd
ohh well! keeps me out of trouble.
Get as much as you can out of the way mate.
Carb, turbo, drop the down pipe, any coolant pipes and that
We have 4 full gasket sets in Shop stock that I haven't listed
No head gasket ,but all others ,manifold rocker etc ....
Meillor kit 016236P

Or put a OE head gasket in with it for £32.50 .
I only have 3 oe head gaskets left though .

Il be keeping an eye on this thread, gota do mine soon
Its not really that bad Blick. My manifold has the extra webbing which made it an akward job, and it kept snowing, lots. Otherwise it'll be fairly easy. If you're doing the head gasket anytime soon it'll be even easier
Oh, and mine left loads of the old gasket on the face of the head. I had to block the ports up and get a wire wheel and WD40 on the case. If you do this WATCH YOUR FINGERS!!! It hurts
