Thread: Exhaust manifold Gasket

I have taken the exhaust manifolds off the cylinder heads on my 1988 3.5L EFI rangie and found there are no gaskets just metal on metal.....All well and good, this is what the workshop manual says. However in the head gasket set I have purchased there are what look like exhaust manifold gaskets?? What have people done in the past? should i fit them or leave them off? I'm inclined to leave them off on the grounds that it was working fine before but maybe I have just been lucky??

All thoughts and comments gratefully received,

Use a high temperature silicone and bolt it up. Chuck the gaskets behind the dunny door were they belong.

Thanks Wizard that was my thinking too but I wonder why they are included?

Some people still fit them. So comes as a set. They pop within 10000kms Just chuck them... Trust me.
