If you look again at the gasket you will see they only go one way , the manifold is 'D' shaped so is the gasket . D to D , if you fit these the wrong way round you will leave a gap and it will leak . Shiny or not they only work one way .
Have another look and you will see what i mean :wink:

i looked at them and they certainly not symmetrical, i can hear what your saying makes perfect sense cheers chudd, i'm a novice and just thought i'd ask the question
i just been cleaning all the mateing surfaces up and lubing all the threads on the down pipe flange, should be up and running soon.

she starts and sounds lovely, just the smoke was a bit worrying from the bay!!!
i gonna give her a good run in the morn before the traffic gets busy.
my cuz said that the new gaskets smoke a bit until they are bedded in
i hope he's right.
