Here is a question for those that have taken your exhaust manifold off for any reason (posting or turbo upgrades)
What did your exhaust manifold gaskets look like and I ask about gaskets (plural) as I had Two inplace and the engine side looked great but the manifold side looks to be showing a wee bit of blow by on the sealing areas.. Also ALL of my studs came out of the head rather than the nut coming off the stud. No biggy there as I will take them apart and put the stud back in before putting the new header on then torque the nuts to spec.
Just curious I don't think it hurts anything but wanted to pass this along.
