    Exhaust Gaskets - Do I have any??

    Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at here.... it "seems" like there maybe a be ring of aluminium "head" & then the inside black ring is the gasket...

    Am I right? Don't want to attack it with too much vigour until I know I'm not digging into the head itself....

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Little hard to tell from the photos Dan but I think they are in there. The gaskets are made from a pretty soft material so you might want to check that way.

    Good luck.

        the grooved ring on the outside edge of the port is the gasket, the ring is it. Nothing behind it. Not rubber, its made of metal with a coating over it. should be able to pop them out with a flathead screwdriver. May need to clean out some carbon build up. they're not inside the port. From your pics, if those are different ports, the first one looks questionable, but the other two for sure have one, if they are the same port, then its in there.

          Sorry for bad pics... taken with my phone, all I had to hand at the time. They all look the same close up so I guess they all have them. Guess I'll have a dig around tomorrow.
          New ones haven't turned up yet so I didn't have anything to compare against.

          Cheers,

            photo#3 shows a bit of groove thats likely part of the gasket, so if they're all like that then yea you've got 'em!
