Nothing turned up on a search, but hopefully this is a quick and easy query. I have a blow coming from where the cast iron exhaust manifolds meet the exhaust downpipe.
On a RHD car this is a single three bolt flange with a oval (ish) shape. It has a metal gasket. I had this apart recently as part of a bigger job and used a new gasket on rebuild, but no exhaust paste. Should I have used paste?
I think I have used paste on both sides of the gasket before, on other M30 engined cars
I've read that a smear of copper grease should suffice
Any thoughts?
