Exhaust Manifold Gasket Port Size Effects

[bdidhe99]

I have been searching through the threads and dont seem to see and answer to my questions...

Stock 90 Talon Tsi

Replacing a cracked exhaust manifold and realize the port size on the gasket is bigger than the port sizes on the block and manifold.

I have ordered several different gaskets and they all are bigger than the port sizes on the block and manifold

Is this a problem?? What long term effects will this have??

Your feedback is appreciated!!

This depend how much bigger the gasket is?
The gaskets are usually a tiny bit bigger than the ports, you could use this as a stencil to port you new manifold.

If you are not sure, post a pic of the gasket and sufaces.
