Re: Exhaust Manifold gasket/no gasket ??

["dennis.1963ply" <dennis.1963ply@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys,

Both of you made the most important point, get the manifold surfaced !!

As for gasket or not I am still thinking about it but without a flat surface on the manifold I'm asking for trouble.  The local Napa machine shop here in Yuma is ran by a Mopar guy.  When I take it in I'll also ask him what he thinks.

So far I am leaning towards gasket with Copper Coat.

Thanks Again

Sorry, this is not 62 to 65 Mopar but the question I am asking is appropriate for 62 to 65 Mopar engines also.

I am actually working on an RV with a 360 that has an exhaust leak and the manifold is installed with a gasket.

My understanding is that normally a gasket is not used however at some point in time the engine was rebuild or repaired and a gasket was installed probably just because it was in the gasket kit.

If I don't use a gasket should I use something like a very small amount of high temperature RTV, Copper Coat or just clean it well and install it bare?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
