I have a nice little leak in my manifold gasket. What is the best way to go about putting on a new gasket?


Thanks in advance

 

take off the manifold and replace it

This might be of some help, then again maybe not.

I was asking more if I have to pull the motor or if it is easier another way.

 

You don't need to pull the motor. It would be easier with it out of course, but the trouble of getting the motor out isn't worth it in this case.

 

Do you suggest unbolting the motor mounts to allow for some flexibility?

 

you should be able to get it in the car just fine, or just spend a quick half hour unmounting the tranny and engine mount and hoist it up and out for a lil bit then throw it back in, its not the difficult. when i was doing my ka-t i had the motor in and out daily.

 

Awesome sounds good, i appreciate it.

 

Oh shit, i just realized i messed up really bad. It is a fwd altima that the ka24de is in. I remember that it would have been a really easy job on the 240. Very sorry about the lack of information.
