Hey everyone,
Have a different situation with my newly acquired exhaust manifolds on my 318. So I switched over from headers to manifolds. Installed a set of M body manifolds w/AIR,both ends on the manifolds have been capped off for emissions etc.
Now I take it down to the exhaust shop after they bend up pipes to make up the difference between the headers to manifolds. Go to fire it up and the exhaust guy says you have leaks from the bottom on the AIR holes where it meets up to the head. When the motor was rebuilt,the holes for the AIR were plugged in the head. Now I did not put a set of gaskets on when switching,never had to use a set on cast manifolds and heads YET.
I was hoping if I simply install a set of good exhaust gaskets,would this resolved this issue? I really was hoping I don't have to find a set of of manifolds without/AIR. Unfortunately I have the feeling that I might have to find a set to correct this issue,I swear I have the worst luck lol. Any help with be much appreciated before I spend more time,money and frustration.Thanks
