Clean both mating surfaces . The intake/exhaust gaskets seem to have quite a bit of compressability in the material. Try tightening the manifold nuts before disassembly . Be certsin you have the thick washers under the nuts on each of the studs. The washers spread the retaining nuts pressure in securing the manifolds. </div><div dir="auto">If you have brass nuts be careful of over tightening those because the steel studs try to strip the threads out of the softer brass nuts. </div><div dir="auto">Chuck</div></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div>
