Look what i found after removing the drivers side exhaust manifold... it's not rocket science.... is it? come to think of it, doesn't look like it's the correct gasket... :wacko:
is it just me or are these the wrong way around? hang on.... i think i stand corrected after looking at the new stock gaskets... :LOL: what a cock
Going from my vague memory I think you'll find that the same gasket is used on both right and left manifolds so its made reversible.
I pulled one off an old engine the other day ( the one with the rod through the side) and it was exactly the same. Seems none of these mechanics can see.
RE: Manifold gaskets. They're made like that because the stud patterns are reversed from one port to the next (look at the pics), and they are a universal fit.:LOL:
