[AT] JD 60 manifold gasket

[D. Day]

Thanks to all who replied. I stopped by my JD dealer and picked up a gasket 
set (surprisingly, they were cheaper than on-line sites).  I asked the 
service manager about gasket sealant and he said if the head and the 
manifold are straight, you are better off the use the gaskets dry. If you 
have warping or gaps and machining is not an option, use gasket sealant.

Thanks

Dick Day

Check the manifold with a straight edge. If it is warped then take it to
a machine shop to be trued up. Install it with a new gasget and enjoy it
for the next 40  years.

Just to let you guys know I wasn't the one who said to take it to the
machine  shop.

This  is my first massage on the subject. You jumped on me now how about
jumping on  Tom after all he seems to agree with me and you know that's not 
good

Exhaust  manifold Gaskets always burn through so the only  cure is to
replace
it. also check to see that the manifold seats good against the engine 
block
or you will have to do it all over again. If the intake and exhaust  are
married together then be sure to loosen the bolts  and reset  them so that
all fits
correctly.  Its always better to do it  right the first time and  not have 
to
do it over.

Some  how you guys seem to only get all over me for saying something that 
you
don't  like or being rude.
You think Farmers message of "Nonsense" was not rude. Come on.
