350F Crush Gaskets?

[evilaugust]

Should my 350F use crush gaskets on the exhaust manifold? It didn't have any when I got it, and I don't see where they would go with the split collars in place. The manual doesn't seem to mention them.

Finally found it in the manual. The ones I bought just wouldn't fit. Have to correct DCC on that one.

You have to pull pipes out of head to fit exhaust gaskets

As PJ stated, the headers have to be completely off the head for you to remove or install the new ones. Its the first part that goes on when installing the headers. Hers's a pic (#3), you can get them from the dealer as well. Also, often the old ones are there but very hard to see due to the soot, they could actually still be there.

Get some extras - they don't like to be re-used.
