exhaust manifold gaskets

[drifting circles]

This is the third time ive blown a exhaust manifold gasket ive been usinga ca18de one i need to find a copper gasket where can i one

[drifting circles]

nevermind i just found some cometic manifoldgaskets

Something is wrong if you are blowing that many gaskets. If you keep blowing the same one I would suspect you have a warped manifold.

thats what ive been thinking after all this bs so the next question is does anyone have one forsale

[themadscientist]

First confirm it's warped with a straightedge. If it is it can be flycut at a machine shop to true it.

ive been told also it could be a warped head

[themadscientist]

Heads warp at the mating surface for the block not where it meets the manifolds. I have NEVER seen or heard of that in twenty years of messing with cars.

As TMS said, the head warping at the manifold is highly unlikely. I'd get the mating surface of the manifold flycut at a machine shop. Shouldn't cost much either.
