RE: IML: Manifold Leak 64 413

["bill parker" <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like it may have blown out the gasket at the exhaust crossover 
passage there.  I wonder why though.  Anyway, you can change the gasket 
either with a stock "bathtub" gasket, or a bathtub with the Felpro 
"sandwich" gaskets which supply four pieces to "sandwich" the bathtub, or 
cut down your bathtub to use only as a valley cover and install soft "race" 
style gaskets.  I think since it must be an exhaust leak from the crossover 
passage, I would try a new bathtub first with no other pieces.   I'm 
assuming that you replaced the engine with the same rebuilt one or a 
similiar year, if it is later model and has an EGR, which now probably 
wouldn't be hooked up, I wonder if that may be causing leakage/other 
problems.
