    Im looking for a company that sells a Copper or aluminum exhaust manifold gasket for my IL-6. Anyone have a suggestion? I've looked everywhere, but can only find v-8 ones.

    Irregular or warped surface causes most of the problems, a copper gasket is just more tolerant of these conditions...

    Did Ford install exhaust manifold gaskets on 6 cylinder Maverick / Comets?

    I know that the V-8's in the 1960's and early 1970's did not receive them. The exhaust system was a sort of heat sink.
