ThePog Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yo. I noticed when starting up my new diesel pump install that the exhaust manifold was leaking a bit. I had noticed i was losing turbo pressure a bit, but when I was investigating other things I took the manifold off and it was clearly blowing through in multiple places. I just bolted it on with standard multi layer steel gaskets and clearly this isnt good enough. What do you bitches think I should do to solve this? extra poo? perforated sandwich type gaskets? weld?

kpr Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Stock MLS gaskets will be best option. Just need to make sure manifold is flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I have a brand new mitsi one in a bag, which you can have so long as you replace it. But yeah these normally last pretty well in a standard application even with a good dose of boost / heat behind them. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/mitsubishi-japan/lancer/CN9A/sngf/intake-exhaust/turbocharger-supercharger/22499 Did I maybe send you a used gasket with the other turbo bits...

RUNAMUCK Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Drown it in red RTV. But be sure to get it all over everything else too. (For that "professional look") 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
