FAQs
What vehicles is this gasket set compatible with?
This FAI Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set (EM124-FA001) is compatible with MG MGB and MGB GT models from 1962 to 1980 that are equipped with a 1.8L engine.
Is this a performance part or an OE replacement?
This is an Original Equipment (OE) replacement part, designed to match the specifications of the original gasket for standard vehicle operation.
What is the primary function of an exhaust manifold gasket?
The primary function is to create a seal between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder head, preventing exhaust gases from escaping into the engine bay and ensuring proper flow through the exhaust system.
Do I need to use sealant with this gasket?
Consult your vehicle's service manual. Some installations may benefit from a thin layer of high-temperature exhaust sealant, while others may not require it. Ensure compatibility with the gasket material if sealant is used.
How do I know if my exhaust manifold gasket needs replacing?
Signs include loud exhaust leaks, a ticking or puffing sound from the engine bay (especially when cold), a noticeable loss of engine power, or failed emissions tests.
What torque specification should I use for the manifold bolts?
Refer to the specific workshop or service manual for your MG MGB or MGB GT model and year for the correct torque specifications and tightening sequence. This is critical for achieving a proper seal.
Troubleshooting
Exhaust leak detected after installation
Re-check torque on manifold bolts, ensuring they are tightened to the manufacturer's specification in the correct sequence. Verify that mating surfaces were perfectly clean and that the gasket was seated correctly. Inspect manifold for cracks.
Persistent ticking or blowing noise
Ensure all bolts are properly torqued. A warped manifold or cylinder head surface can prevent a proper seal even with a new gasket. Consider checking for hairline cracks in the manifold.
Difficulty fitting the gasket
Confirm that you have the correct part number (EM124-FA001) for your specific vehicle model and year. Ensure mating surfaces are completely clear of any old gasket material or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This gasket set is specifically designed for MG MGB and MGB GT models manufactured between 1962 and 1980, equipped with a 1.8L engine.
Setup: Installation requires removing the exhaust manifold to gain access to the old gasket. Ensure both the cylinder head surface and the exhaust manifold mating surfaces are clean, free of debris, carbon deposits, and old gasket material. Apply a thin, even layer of exhaust sealant (if recommended by vehicle service manual) to the gasket or surfaces as per manufacturer instructions before carefully torquing the manifold bolts to the manufacturer's specified values in the correct sequence to ensure an even seal.
Care: As a gasket, this part is designed for a specific application and does not require routine user maintenance. Its longevity depends on correct installation and the absence of excessive vibration or stress on the exhaust system.
