intake and exaust manifold warped beyond repair.

[Droopynut]

acording to that diagram, The area where the intake bolts to the exhaust manifold looks like it requires 3 seperate gaskets. Is this the case? When I look at the intake on my truck, It doesn't look like there are 3 gaskets...but i'm not sure.

oh yeah...you guys said to call CDan. Who is CDan and how do I contact him.

I wouldn't mind having the shop manual anyway...for the future.

The thing that looks like the middle gasket is actually the heat riser insulator. My understanding is that it can be reused if it's in good shape. SOR makes a replacement plate, but I'm not sure about it's use. I think there are some threads about it on this forum. There are two other heat-riser gaskets--one above and one below the insulator. I made the mistake of only ordering one and had to eat the postage costs for #2....

When you remove the heat riser insulator, take note of which way its sitting so you can get it back together the right way. I made that mistake too.

send a pm to cruiserdan. He'll send order info.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think these are all the gaskets needed for this job:

manifold gasket
EGR inlet gasket
Exhaust donut
2 carb insulator gaskets

any others?
