so i've been driving with a manifold to head leak for awhile. finally today i took it apart to find no gaskets at all. i've got an 82 pick up with a 22r. so the biggest question i've got is why the heck didn't the previous owners have a gasket in there. k so i picked up a gasket anyway and tried putting it in today. so im wondering, since there was no gaskets before, which side of the back side heat shield do i put the gasket?? i thought i'd just leave the heat shield off but then my egr holes would be wide open. i'd think u should have gaskets on both sides no??
