I am installing a new gasket on my passenger side exhaust manifold. The old
one has no material between the second and third openings, and the new one
does. Should I remove this "extra" material?

If your running a header, be sure to tighten the 4 bolt tht are in line
very tight and leave the top center one snug only.
Also after 50 miles, re tighten the 4 inline bolts
We have found that this procedure helps our customers from needing to
replace the gasket for 20,000 miles or longer.
