intake manifold gasket - Gasket Goo?
hi all
I am reconditioning a 1.5L Mazda 323 head. single o'head cam. Now ready to refit the inlet manifold with a new gasket. The workshop manual does not mention anything about using gasket goo (cement), but it does for other gaskets such as thermostat housing and water pump. So, do I need to use goo when refitting the inlet manifold?
Also, there was a metal spacer plate fitted between the head and manifold, about 1/4 inch thick, yet the manual makes no reference to it. Does it need to be fitted? If so, where? Does the gasket go on the head side of the plate or the manifold side, or do I need two gaskets? I purchased a full head gasket set and it only came with one gasket...
I have asked a few mechanic friends, but get different answers. Others don't know. Anyone assist?
