just been removing my turbo and exhaust manifold...what an absolute shite job?!

just took ages...is it a case that when they were in the factory they bolted everything to the head before it was fitted to the block as some of the nuts are very awkward to get to?

any way...

got some new gaskets to fit as it was blowing and also a new exhaust system...but...where the manifold splits with the 12 point aero bolts can you buy a gasket for this???...obviously its twenty years old and i am not relying on machined faces!

or shal i re-machine it flat or make a gasket out of the millions of exhaust gaskets i have got in boxes in the garage???

you not supposed to use exhaust assembly paste before the turbo are you???

cheers
