Re: Bad manifold gaskets
These seem to be just a sort of a flare around the edge of the gasket? Really hard to tell from the photo. The early '28 models came with six individual copper gaskets that did have true rings built into them, but no one makes those.

Re: Bad manifold gaskets
FWIW, I'm planning to outfit the phaeton with Remflex gaskets following the engine overhaul. These don't look stock at all, but they're very good at sealing leaks.

I used the gland rings and the copper gaskets. I also put a light smear of hi temp exhaust sealant on the faces of the gasket. Once the engine started and ran for a while, I also checked the torque and re-torqued if necessary. |

Re: Bad manifold gaskets
Would it be better to use solid rings made from mild steel or cutting 304 stainless steel rings with a hacksaw to allow some thermal expansion?
