Gasket sealer for Exhaust Manifolds.
My merc manifolds show a little sign of weeping on the outside which means it is or will be doing it on the inside - I miss my Gils. Anyway, going to yank them and put new gaskets in. Should I use a sealant with the gaskets and if so what kind of permatex? Also, anyone know the torque specs?
Thanx
Thanx

If the sealing flange is pitted from rust/corrosion you may need to have the manifolds surfaced to keep them from leaking. You can surface them yourself if you have access to a large belt sander or take them to a machine shop.

thanx guys, my friend also used a permatex product that was sprayed on the gasket. I don't think pitting is a problem, it's a 96.
