emoe Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 No mate, its fairly easy as long as the bolts arent siezed! You can get a grinder and take out the lip thats in there too! Do the same to the turbo flange as well, as this lip causes some turbulence. Link to comment

emoe Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Dont use paste!!!! Use a decent gasket and DONT USE PASTE!! the paste dries out and cracks and then ends up leaking on the up-pipe!! Been there and had that problem before!! Link to comment
har Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 cheers for the info,will i be able to get a gasket from any main dealers,and i take it all classics are the same gaskets Link to comment
