I am gearing up to change out my exhaust manifold gaskets because I have a leak at one or two of them, but before I jump into this job I want to make sure I have all of the parts I need. Do I need a flange gasket for the down pipe and o-rings and lock washers for the two halves of the manifold as well as the 6 manifold gaskets? It does not appear to be leaking in those two spots, but I am concerned I will need to take those apart to get the manifold off.
After taking a look at how it all comes apart, it would appear that I will also need to take it apart at the flange that connects to the down pipe, correct? Or maybe I can just remove the nuts where the manifold connects to the head and lean it out of the way (as long as I release the clamp where the down pipe is connected to the bell housing further down)?
Anyway, I could use some input from somebody that has done this ob before. I've done this on other vehicles, just not an HJ60. I have the all of the FSMs for my cruiser but there was not adequate info to guide me in whether I need more gaskets than just the 6 manifold gaskets.
Let me know what you guys think.
