1) it will make the job much easier if you tilt it.
2) yes i would. i always use a gasket and sealer with metal to metal.




Thanks for the reply.. Exhaust manifold gasket blew out, the reason for this repair.. I remember not using exhaust gaskets years ago just because of this...
I cannot see any way to remove this manifold without tilting engine or removing the steering column... Just wondering if this is why mopar changed the clocking of the flange ( manifold to exhaust pipe) in 68???
