I had to buy a new exhaust manifold due to sagging and #4 not sealing.
After bolting the intake and exhaust manifolds together. I had the surface machined flat.
As I was fitting the manifolds to the block I started to wonder about the Gland Rings. It appears in the Service Bulletins that they were eliminated at some point? (page 312). Then the Service Bulletins mention that the gasket was changed again (Page #562). No mention of the Gland Rings.
My question is should they be used or not. Thanks
