Correct G60 inlet manifold gasket ?

Recommended Posts

Ive just removed the inlet manifold on the G60, and i have this new gasket knocking about (TOP one in pic)

 

Can i use it? It came as part of the full top end gasket kit when i had the head off.

Its not the correct one is it? but it does line up although slightly more tightly around the ports than the bottom one which came off the car.

yeah that's the 8v carb gasket, as the carb manifolds (on mk2s of course) has coolant pipes running to them as they were pre-heated to reduce carb icing issues.

 

Prodigal had the same prob, bin it and get a G60 one if I was you. No point having a gasket which is smaller than the ports.

Cool :)

 

It fits nice and snug around the ports, not encroaching or anything, but i guess once squeezed up it could do.

Will try get hold of the correct G60 one anyway. :) Gutting that my local gsf branch is closing!

 

Thanks mate.
