Hi Mr Nabisco,

If one gasket is leaking the others could be on their way out too. Get replacement studs and nuts. Those on eBay have some exotic nuts such as copper/nickel plated which is way better then OE. The nut's thread is M8 with 1.25 pitch (and so is the stud). Undo all nuts for the job. If any sticks to the stud then remove it together as one unit (but do it slowly to preserve the thread inside the aluminium head). Do this on cold engine.

Replacement gaskets from Bosal/Starla/Walker are okay as yours is not a turbo. I don't think you could slip a gasket in just by undoing 2 exhaust fasteners.

Regards,
Amarin.
