S-III petrol exhaust down pipe gasket

Been looking here and at parts catalogues and can't seem to find a part # for the gasket that goes between the bottom of the exhaust manifold and the down pipe. The local parts guy says that they don't have em. Doesn't make sense to me..... All that rattling and farting is irritating. Thinking about making one or gobbing it full of silicone.... any advice (on topic) happily accepted.

get some exhaust gasket sealant from an auto parts place. something like this should sort you out:
EXHAUST ASSEMBLY SEALER,EXHAUST JOINT SEALER on eBay, also Exhaust Components, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 01-Jan-09 13:51:21 GMT)

just make sure you clean all the soot off the flange surfaces before the sealan goes on and its should hold fine.

I've never seen a gasket fitted there. I looked in my series III parts catalogue and there isn't one listed.

I don't think that's for a 2 1/4 petrol sean

i know it's for a 2 1/4 petrol

Come on Sean be a man and admit you're wrong Series III 2 1/4 petrol exhaust manifolds have 3 bolts - it's the diesels that have 4 bolts.

so why was i able to fit one of those gaskets to a 2.25 PETROL last week ?

coz you're clevva?raise:

That's the gasket for the far end of an intermediate pipe.
The downpipe has only got three studs and mine hasn't got a gasket..no problems in a squillion miles so far.

Check it out Sean. This is a page from the series III parts catalogue published in June 1988.



I've never seen a 4 stud manifold on a 2 1/4 series III petrol engine, but I've got a feeling that early SII 2 1/4 petrol engines may have had them. Oh ****... I need to get out more

I had to renew Gertrude's exhaults manifold last weekend (2.25 Petrol) and I can report that there is NO gasket between the manifold and the down pipe!!! A smear of fire gum and new bolts well tightened and the jobs a good'en!!:clap2: :clap2:

there might not be one on yours, but the exhaust i replaced last week certainly had one - well the remains of one - this was a very late SIII 5MB

maybe LR were bin raiding during it's build

Oh come on man, you mean to tell me that affine transformations, projective geometry and Mandelbrot sets don't get your juices flowing - it's geek heaven. I've been putting a link to all that **** on my CV and it's just helped to land me a nice job.

Was it a very early Ser II with the swan nee manifold, if not you're talking bollocks

accusing someone of talking bollocks is a bit rich seeing as you clearly can't read

Sorry, I withdrew it because I felt enough people had told you that already, if more politely, wish I hadn't now.
