Hi - I'm ordering these parts out of the (correct) Land Rover parts catalogue, but the listings are a bit ambiguous to me.
Is the exh manifold gasket GEG639 or GEG640?
Which studs to I need?
I'm replacing the cracked exhaust manifold.

For a 2.25? The part number is 274171. Single gasket for intake and exhaust. They are like $1 a pop. Shipping is a pain, so buy lots...

Studs...
From series 3 catalog, 564574 and 247144 if imperial (5/16 UNF) or TE108051L if metric (8 mm).
Explaination for later fastener part numbers... http://www.ep90.com/index.php?id=28
Clear like mud? Depends a lot on the age of the engine. Series 3 are a mix of UNF and metric. Earlier trucks get into Whitworth and you want to slit your throat.
Hi and thanks.
Mine is a series 2a so I don't think that helps, sorry I didn't put that in there.
I went and visited Ivor today - wow, what a character! Have you seen all his stuff??? I'll be back when I have the energy to deal with....
I did get an intake manifold, but not an exhaust. So will email the first person you recommended again.
Lately I have pulled-out all of the spring packs and had 2 leaf-springs removed from each. I'm nervous about it, but went ahead. Before I put them and the axles back in I am laying-in some sound-dampening panels - mostly inside in the front and underneath in the back. And I sealed-up all the cracks, seams etc... in anticipation of carpet. I have also purchased heavy-duty industrial foam with a solid rubber protective top which I will cut into slabs and use for more sound-dampening (and protection) in the back. This is the stuff you put in shops where employees have to stand on a cement floor all day. Sheesh, it was expensive, but apparently does a much better job than solid rubber, which also smells from the day you buy it until the day you die - or the car does.
