Bowie69 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 As above, the corner of the rear port just fell off while I had the manifold detatched... I look it up in my PDFs, but it only lists the inlet manifold for some reason.... Then Paddocks list inlet and exhaust separately: http://www.paddocksp...cyl-petrol.html http://www.paddocksp...cyl-petrol.html Craddocks list the first link above as this, and include a nice picture with it: http://www.johncradd...and_exhaust.php I assume this is the one I am after....? Current gasket looks one piece, but the parts book shows 2 piece.... Sorry for being thick, I can normally work this sort of thing out, but am ordering from a motor factors first thing to get it running by lunchtime The vehicle is a 1980 SIII Lightweight, had a recon engine put in it in 1989 or thereabouts whilst still in the MoD.

western Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 All I can find is the 2 inlet gaskets 564307, the 110 21/4 engine parts only shows inlet gasket with the same number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 pete, the craddocks one is correct! thats what i ordered,(2 by mistake) if you wasn't in such a hurry you could have it for P+P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I wasn't aware the 2.25 petrol used exhaust gaskets, I'm sure when I got to this stage in my rebuild the workshop manual just said to fit it bare. I used a smear of exhaust paste for good measure, but I couldn't find a listed part for a 2.25P exhaust. I was told a 2.5 petrol gasket would fit, but I tried it and it didn't. The inlet manifold has a pair of metal sheet gaskets, which I fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Retro, that's a bit odd, as mine clearly has some old gasket material stuck to the head, and can see the break on the rear most port clearly, and having done it back up without realising this it blows like Paris Hilton It certainly looks like a one piece item, and no metal around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 That's what I thought. Here is the text from the WSM: Mine doesn't seem to blow, with no gasket fitted - just a smear of paste as above (well they specify some anti-seize compound but I used exhaust paste!). I doubt that fitting a gasket is going to cause an issue for you, I just followed the manual as it saved buying more bits and has seemed to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
