Post by: unlucky mark mv6 on 17 September 2010, 19:33:21

Passenger side exhaust manifold is blowing slightly,so my question is how difficult on the 3.2. :-/,and any takers on the job. ::)

Are you sure its not the front pipe to manifold joint?

Should be a bit easier on a 3.2

Wouldn't a 3.2 have a mls gasket?

Yep

Hence check the other gasket first as its so much less likely to cause an issue

I noted that Auto addict had a similar issue on the drivers side

No its certainly the zorst manifold,you can see the smoke emitting from it,and besides,the front pipe gasket has already been done. :)

Thanks. That was a good guess, although i recently did my drivers side so thought it might be!
