4.6 head gasket

That is excellent news!

Any chance of some pics? I would also like to know how it keeps up since there is still the concern of the metal corroding much faster. Keep us posted if you will :)

Thanks,

-P

PS I found an article that voices concern about wrapping: Exhaust Header Heat Wraps - Do Not Use

yea but!
those headers are custom made out of maybe 1.5mm pipe,, a stiff breeze would hurt them,,,
I doubt any wrap will damage a cast iron product,,

I had a couple of the rivnuts tear out of the heat shields. I bought some brass nuts and bolts to replace them.

Years ago, manifold nuts were always brass.

Discoverys may be cast , these use SS

Well finally got it to make a noise today
Had an eye op 3 weeks ago so still only got about 50% vision in that eye, so its been painfully slow putting it back together by feel. Son inlaw come down today to help finish it off.
May still have a bit of air in the system but the old girl started after turning over 3 or 4 times on the jump leads. Do an oil change tomorrow and hopefully back on the road.
cheers
