inlet/exhaust manifold washers

[MARINAMAN480]

those guys that have got tc's are your washers for the manifolds flat or have they got cut outs on them ? as my inlet and exhust manifolds sit at different heights

Hi Lee,

On my SDL Coupe I used MGB parts, the exhaust and inlet manifolds were different thicknesses, with the inlet being thicker. I marked the size of the washers on the inlet flanges and filed them down to the same thickness as the exhaust flange.

Thats what i got.

Did you file the washers or manifold ?

What did mg do then ?

I filed the flanges on the inlet manifold. I can only think that the casting thicknesses varied over the years, I can't see any reason to have two different thicknesses putting the washers on an angle.

Have you checked any of the MGB forums to see what they say?

Not checked forums but looked at brown and gammons and moss etc

Washers are flat and both manifolds same thickness. Never had that problem.
