Are you sure you need to change your inlet manifold gasket? I have not changed one in years.

[kluku5]

Maybe he wants to change it because you have to remove the inlet to do rocker cover gaskets?

hi,

inlet manifold gasket 

there are 6 rubber rings between plenum and inlets and then red rubber gaskets between inlets and ''sandwich plate''. is it these you want replacing? 

[albitz]

They shouldn't need replacing even if the manifold has been off and on numerous times.

[dbug]

Agreed, always reused existing ones without any issues

Hi Graham, what sympton makes you think you need to change your inlet manifold gasket?

 My 2.5 V6 spits a bit on start up and I used to think it was exhaust manifold gasket. But having had two 2 litre Omegas develop cracks in their exhaust manifolds, I fear I have a crack in the right hand exhaust manifold. It seems to be a failing of cast iron exhaust manifolds.

hi, was just changing it as the inlet had to come off for the rocker gaskets, which are now done, im still having an idle issue the engine seems to be moody sometimes idles nice and sometimes it dips away and idles ruff. the car has been fully serviced with new coil pack and leads, im out of ideas,,, any suggestions?

Clean ICV, clean breathers if not done with cam cover change

What he said  if issue still unresolved look for vac leaks and small exhaust leaks.

[noel]

might also be worth giving the throttle body a good clean if doing breathers etc

hi guys, ive replaced the track rods and the wishbones with aftermarket ones, had it tracked. the car dosnt seem to drive right , seems a ruff ride, anything to do with non genuine parts?

[tunnie]

Those items should not affect ride, thats set by the springs/shocks. Omega does need full geometry though, rather than just a track in my experiance
