Difficulty in changing Gasket? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have an S14 SR20DET in my car and i have run into a problem. I started to hear a loud exhaust leak coming form my engine bay and i found out that it was coming from a broken gasket in between the exhaust manifold and the turbo. I was lookin at it today and it looks like i gotta take out the headers and pull the whole thing out to remove the nuts. So i was wondering if anyone knew how hard and time consuming ot would be. And could i just pick up a gasket anywhere. Thanks a lot.

LOL, I've had this problem so many times in the last year. You can order one on Heavy Throttle.com for like $20.00. It takes me about 2 hours to take off by myself. Just make sure you don't pull out a stud with the nut on the manifold cause it sucks putting it back in. And when you put the coolant lines back on. Go to a local hardware store and buy a few crush washers to make a gasket for the bolts or it will leak. You can find them in the plumbing sections.
