Exhaust manifold gasket question

Post by SUSPECT 0 »

Did 1994's come with exhaust manifold gaskets? I just pulled the front exhaust manifold off today and noticed that there wasn't a gasket anywhere on the manifold or on the block......

They didn't come with any. They are available though and I suggest using them to help prevent leaks.
