Section 30 10 26 of the workshop manual refers to 'packing' between the exhaust manifold and the downpipe flange.
Is there an actual part, should there be metal-to-metal contact or should joint sealant be used as required?
I'm asking as I have a rattle coming from that area which will be investigated further next week.
Thanks in advance.

Re: 1850 exhaust manifold
Manifold is belled and downpipe flared....
If the studs are in good nick brass nuts with a plane and spring washer and a smidge of sealant are all you need.
Tighten til they squeak.
If you want it to last be sure it has the correct gearbox support, or it will last 3 months before blowing again.
