Ramon Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I hear a noise squeak when accelerating, from the engine in the low side of the co-pilot seat and notice that the gasket from the manifold to the exhaust system was broken so I decide replace with brand new ( a PITA to do it XD) Anyway,, so the squeaky noise disappear but the gas leak remains a little bit I that only make the noise when going up to 4000RPM and then I place my hand on it and feel a warm weak blowing and see the that the gasket didn't fit on the middle of the tube and take this picture The detail I clean perfectly both manifold and tube from the old gasket remains as you can see there is a little opening between the manifold and I was wandering if there is any kind of sealant that can be used to fix this? Or should I replace one of the tubes ? Did something like this happen to you? Is strange although the nuts and screws are tight very well the little space don't disappear Edited March 21, 2009 by Ramon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The top flange looks a little bent to me, anyone else see that, near the hole? If you want a really cheap fix, you can just use exhaust paste, but it won't last unless you put it on perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
