: There are a few different types of washers used
: on the SL6 manifolds. The top end ones
: should be a special brass washer with a flat
: on the manifold side and a ID 45?amfer on
: the other side. A special slotted locknut is
: used with it.
: This is designed to allow the exhaust manifold
: to slide as it heats and cools. The iron
: cupped washer is used on the top middle and
: the two lower middle studs, most of the time
: I find the "butterfly" washer in
: the lower middle locations.
:
: Here is a PIC showing the brass end washers,
: special nuts and all the other hardware.
: Most SL6 "diehards" have a can
: full.

: Thanks for the info, DD - the picture was very
: helpful!! I just put my manifold back on
: yesterday and did it wrong. I put the
: triangular washers on the lower middle two
: studs. I've got all the right hardware
: except the brass washers and locking nuts
: for the ends. Do you know of an independent
: source for these? The dealers here in San
: Diego don't stock them.

: I would not worry about using the triangular
: washers on the middle lower positions, just
: check to be sure they are not
: "butted-up" against the edges of
: the notches. Here again, this manifold needs
: room to "float" as it heats and
: cools, every washer needs clearance around
: it.
:
: I have always scored the brass end washers from
: the junk yards but I would think they are
: available somewhere, may-be in the Dorman
: line.
: If there are a number of people who need them,
: I could machine-up some. (an easy machinning
: job)
: DD

: The end washers are the round cupped style.As
: far as where would you get some?.. well,an
: advid bone yarder like myself would have
: about half a coffee can full. How many would
: you like?

: Sorry for the misinformation Al, I thought the
: end washers were the steel round ones. I
: went out to the garage dumped the can, there
: is brass washers in there. Thanks for
: straightening me out Doc.
