Well, I hear the ticking sound again which indicated a leaking manifold the last two times. I replaced the manifold twice now. I always put the manifold gaskets on dry so maybe that's my problem.
Anyway, I've already ordered a new manifold and I got some Permatex Ultra copper gasket maker. I plan on coating both sides of the gaskets this time.
Now, about the gaskets. They have a shiny side and a dull side. The shiny side was the "up" side when they punched them out and the dull side was the die side. Does it make any difference which side goes toward the engine? I don't remember what I did the last time I did it.
