intake gasget

[Mr Sam]

i stupidly didnt bother buying a new intake gasget while changing the manifold and carb......

 

its now dripping coolant quite bad will radweld sort this until i can be bothered fitting a new gasget

[BIG G]

if your handy with the blue peter way of things get a cornflakes box and hey presto gasket material

[Mr Sam]

ive actually got gasget paper somewhere

 

its a case of do i have the patience to sit there with a stanley.......if i can even find one

[escort21]

Thats what i did last time i changed my manifold

[Mr Sam]

id rather just spend the 1.98 on a new gasget

 

but ive had it off once today so was gonna see if radweld would hold it for the time being

Change the gasket, don't stick that stuff in your coolant system unless it's absolutely necessary

[louie bagel]

do it propperly don't stick crud weld in and make sure you weigh the gasket we don't want you adding to much weight to your car

Don't use a stanley, get a spare manifold, place the jointing material over it and tap it all over gently with a hammer. Hey presto, new joint!!

Sam, I never use inlet gaskets, just a bit of silicone

 

Never had any trouble

[Mr Sam]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh sheeeeeeeeeeet i used radweld

 

 

its cured the leak but now my temperature gauge sits a few degress warmer all the time

 

 

 

 

on the plus side the manifold i ported makes it sound nice low down
