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.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

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.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

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 DBaldwinAs some of you know I picked up my new engine today and the manifolds have been surfaced but the machinist didn’t assemble them to the block as the glands were not included in the gasket kit I had purchased. I did a quick search on here regarding their use and the results were all over the place. I ordered a set tonight from Snyder’s along with a few other essentials. But the question still stands...

by DBaldwinThe other day a spent working a list of things on Hugh’s coupe , one item was an exhaust leak after fixing the joint where the muffler meets the manifold we found a leak at the number one exhaust right at the front was a blown gasket. So I read up on gaskets and gland rings. Lots of different schools of thought, almost like asking what oil to use. Lol. my question is who supplies the BEST quality...

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 CaptndanI removed the exhaust manifold to fix a leak. This engine was built by a very reputable Model A builder. The manifold had the two piece gasket next to the block and the one piece gasket next to the manifold. Why? The exhaust manifold was slightly eroded (pitted). Could this be the reason for the two gaskets? I will have the manifold milled and hopefully use only the one piece copper gasket....

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 OldJohnI am now doing the final assembly on my 8BA. What recommendations would you share for these gaskets? (1) the intake manifold, (2) water pumps, (3) thermostat housings.
Experience is the best teacher, but it ain't always the least expensive!-
