What is the size of the exhaust gasket on the curvey engine, mine keeps leaking and i at the moment have to use exhaust sealent that only lasts a few weeks before going.

Ahh and a tip, to remove the studs on the heads, get two bolts the correct size to thread on the studd, tighten one against the other then undo the top one and it will lock against the bottom one causing the stud to come out. Then you can replace with hex headed bolts.

Yeah that is a good tip and works most of the time, unless the inner bolt (closest the engine) strips the thread off the stud and then you cant get the flippin thing off :evil: :evil:

failing that find some one who will lend you a stud extractor or buy one from ARE or somewhere similar

Can't remember the size... OEM's not expensive though.
