Exhaust Manifold Gasket

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

440 exhaust manifold gasket replacement:

• Undo the bolts that hold the manifold on.
• Pull manifold off engine and let it hang.
• Remove the old gasket.
• Use a wire wheel (I used an air powered die-grinder) to clean the surfaces that the gasket will touch on both the manifold and the head. 
• Zap the threads of the studs and get new nuts and lock washers. 
• Reinstall new gasket and tighten down. 

 

Be thorough and patient.

Would anyone care to share their advice on how to change an exhaust manifold gasket on a 440 for a 73 Imperial?  The offending gasket is on the drivers side.  Any tips would be appreciated.
