turbo gaskets

[josh38127]

I am not asking for a how to explaination. I am gonna change manifold and turbo gaskets.I look didn't see any direct answers.

Is there thing I need to do to my gaskets? Is there anything I can put on them to obtain a no leak seal?

No that's why their gaskets to make sure nothing leaks just use anti seize on the bolts and torque them to spec.

I second that.

No goop, but if you want a good seal make sure everything is clean and flat. Run a good file over the mating surfaces of the manifold, see which parts are high. If it's bad enough it may need to be surfaced.
