bugger.
my xr4x4 had the gaskets missing on one of the exhaust manifolds. tried remove the manifolds and managed to shear one of the studs off,
can't drill it out in situe. so it's either leave it sounding like a tractor (not much worse than it has been without the gaskets!!), remove the head and drill the stud out or leave it and get a shift onwith the 24v cossie conversion.

the only problem is I have no spare time and i'm skint.

 

thay dident have gaskets from new

for the time fooking abobut with the head you might aswell drop the 24v in it lol

 

the side with gaskets is quite, the side without gaskets is really noisy (obviously worse now ) which says to me it needs gaskets

and they are listed as a part for this model of car at our local motor factors place

but you are probably right the 24v conversion would be time better spent.

 

lol yep forgot to add once thay come off you have to use gaskets
