S1 Exhaust Manifold Gasket.

[gerags]

Right.

 

I've got an Eliseparts exhaust manifold gasket as I need to replace the old one.

 

Has anyone replaced this before ?

How involved is it ?

 

I've searched SELOC and all they say is "it's an easy" and "the gasket was too thin and I needed to fit washers" but nothing on the technicalities of swapping it.

(And there's nothing in the service manual)

 

Any advice you may have would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers.

 

Steve.

I may tie a piece of string or elastic to the end of the ratchet - just in case

 

Knowing my luck, though, it'll definitely be needed
