SUBJECT:
EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACEMENT
MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 SKYHAWK 1.8L MFI TURBO ENGINE (VIN CODE J)
The following information is issued in an effort to eliminate some confusion regarding manifold gasket replacement on the 1.8L MFI turbo engine.
The replacement gasket Part Number 10031006 is the only gasket that should be used. Using the standard 1.8L (VIN Code 0) gasket will result in a leak.
Before installing the gasket, check for the location of the stamped part number on the surface. The gasket should be installed with this number toward the
manifold. The gasket appears to be the same in either direction but is not. Installing the gasket backward will result in mismatched bolt hole alignment
and seal ring alignment. The bolts can be forced through the gasket but the mismatch in the sealing ring will result in a leak.
