I hope this is it.

As you can see that gasket slipped. It worked fine when I first put it on but with time it developed a leak and now here it is. I am going to older another kit, last one didn't come with the gasket between exhaust and intake. You can see I put permatex on it. Should I take it apart and put in the proper gasket at this point? Thanks, I appreciate all the advice I have gotten on this tractor from you all. It started with a small lack of power that I thought was fuel. It's been a long journey. Brad

One more thing, how do you hold those gaskets in place while installing?

The new gaskets have a little bend to the lip in a few places and that holds them on.

Never a good idea to reuse any gasket.

on some olivers I put a little sealer on them to hold them in place. ie Indian Head!!

wasn't the plan.

On WD and WD-45 Allis, I just glue them onto the manifold with Hi-Temp Silicone and let them set about 30 minutes...

Always has worked fine on them..

If it slipped over a period of time I might have the mating surfaces checked with a machinists straight edge to be sure that area was not low.

A little bit of grease, smeared on the gasket, will hold it long enough for assembly.
