Blowing at manifold :(

[scoobykilla]

Well i thot i would quickly through on my new exhaust mani last night after work, so set about removing everything and preping everything for putting back on. After a while i had the new mani on, gave the car a refill of oil and started it up..............putt putt putt putt.......Its blowing at the exhaust mani gasket (bottom right).

I put a new gasket on when i fitted the new mani and cleaned all surfaces so it shouldn't b blowing.

What should i do folks?

I know the best thing to do would be take everything off again but its so time consuming.

what manifold have you got? if its a toyosports they like to wrap with heat fir they dont seal right. if its a ct9 your running i have a oem cast manifold all nicly ported £20 ;)

[scoobykilla]

Ye its a toyosports :S. Aye av got a oem ported mani in the workshop but like the look of an upgraded one lol. Are toyosports ones that shit lyk lol?

[Idrees]

Yeah they are rubbish, Oem ported ones are better IMO

If you're using one of that bogus 'racing' gaskets supplied by Toyosports that won't help either

[scoobykilla]

Awryt, what a waste of money GRRR

Owell think i've got myself a second hand silkroad mani, been told they are pritty good, so hopefully i wont have any problems with it

[Taggy]

Yeah here is the problem, the idiots at toyosports have made the gasket to small, it doesnt fit properly

[akyakapotter]

Yep Toyo sports gaskets do this they are crap

[scoobykilla]

Thats shit.

So do you think the manifold will b ok if i stick on a toyota oem gasket or will i be better sticking the second hand Silkroad Manifold i am getting on?

[akyakapotter]

Should be fine with oem but won't be long till the Toyo Mani cracks. mine cracked within a month so ported my oem Mani and was spot on till I took it off 1 year later.

[scoobykilla]

awryt cheers, mite try the silkroad one, its second hand but suposed to be pritty good

[WallaceGlanza]

Silkroads crack easily too....
