Still slowly reassembling the Town Sedan engine. The manifold that was on it had about 3/16 sag and I could see where it had blown out the gasket at the rear. I have a new manifold (both exhaust and intake) and gland rings. I have used copper gaskets in the past, but the new copper ones I have will not clear the gland ring, they are smaller diameter, probably the diameter of the block exit without the gland ring machining. I do have a couple sets of the asbestos (?) type. Any suggestions from those smarter than I? Use the gland rings and asbestos type or don't use gland rings and use the copper?

i would use the gland rings with the copper gasket.. i have not run into the issue of the gasket port holes being to small. to me it sounds like your gasket is not correct.
maybe someone else has info on why???
i do like to use the later style copper that slides down over the studs without pulling the manifolds all the way off.

I don't know where I got them, but I have a set made of regular, BRAND X gasket material, what a JOKE!!!!

I'd try to get the correct copper gasket to fit over the rings.
The rings give a smoother flow and keep much of the heat off the edge of the gasket.

Speaking of manifold warp, here's one I can't explain. In the late 70's I did an engine overhaul on a big block Chevy for a customer. I never remove manifolds or heads until the engine reaches room temperature, and the manifolds felt like a perfect fit when I removed them. A few days later, when I went to reinstall them, I had to heat the bottom side to make them fit, otherwise there was no way they were going back on. I just can't figure how that happened while they sat on the work table for a few days.

by DaWizardWell, here is my sad story and I'm ashamed to admit it.
As most of you know, over the past few days I have been working on Wheezy to get him straightened out from the PO. Well, after reinstalling the intake/exhaust manifold I developed an exhaust leak. So, being the smart ass that I am, I remove the manifold and replace the gasket and gland rings to fix the problem.
Well,...-

by wrndlnI did a search to try to find out what waterpump gaskets that were originally used, but found nothing. I have had problems with searching, so maybe I missed it/them. Anyway, I am using a copper clad gasket for the water inlet to the engine, but all I have is a heavy paper gasket for the waterpump that came in the gasket kit. I don't know if the proper gasket has anything to do with the fan belt...

by WMWSI am getting ready to replace my head gasket. I know you all like the Best brand but which one. The copper 509C or the Graph tite 509G. Bratton's seams to like the Graph Tite 509G. Their number is 8081. I don't want the problem of having it stick to the block if I have to ever replace it again. What do you all recommend....

by dmaxwebIn this video, Paul uses Permatex Red RTV Sealant for the manifold gasket. Any of you do this?
I did cringe watching him put 45ft.lbs. on manifold nuts.

by ClaudeCSoon I will be installing my aluminum heads. Using graphite head gaskets. I was told to spray the head gasket with permatex Copper gasket maker. When I cover the head gasket with copper gasket maker, should I wait for the spray to dry before installing?
If I install it wet it may create a mess, but it would seem that is the best way? Any used this stuff before? What did you do?-

by CaptndanI see no mention of anything between the head pipe and the manifold. When I took the old muffler assembly off there were traces of some kind of fabric. Is there supposed to be something there material or caulk maybe?
