Exhaust manifold gasket

[stefan]

what should i expect to pay for one? i took my manifold off so i should probably replace it, but the engine is getting trashed probably by the end of the summer so i dont wanna throw huge money at it

I just made one out of high temp. gasket maker (comes in a sheet, it's asbestes I think) that way you can cut it exactly to fit your head/exhaust with no overlap 8) and that stuff is only like 7 bucks at Canadian Tire

i'm pretty sure an exhaust gasket would be pretty cheap

[stefan]

well i paid $32 for a vc gasket so i wasn't sure. thanks for the input guys

According to autozone.com, you can get the really cheap one for 4.99, or you can go all out and spend 10.99 for the primo one. Think if it was me, I'd go ahead and change it. :wink:

whatever. i smeared some exhaust system sealant on the gasket and torqued it back on, ran the engine for 5 minutes to cure the stuff, and it dosent leak so its all good.
