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??

if it's been loose you'd be as well to swap the gasket, chances are it's damaged.

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.

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!!

Get as much as you can out of the way mate.
Carb, turbo, drop the down pipe, any coolant pipes and that :agree:

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 :laugh:

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 :sad2:
