Replacing exhaust manifold gaskets (1ggte)

[Brawler]

Hi

So yeah my engine is making an annoying ticking noise, and im 90% sure its one of the exhaust gaskets gone bust (manifold to head)

Now they go for $20 a pop at toyota So what I need to know, Is should i replace all 3 (3 sets of 2 ports) or should I only replace the one thats bust. Also what will I require for the job (bar tools and gasket goop)

cheers

Yes replace all the gaskets, no point in doing just one. You should also replace the manifold-> turbo gaskets if you need to remove the turbos before you can undo the manifold bolts (more than likely)

You will need a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm socket and lots of skin from your knuckles.
Some top up fluid for coolant and oil as well.
