   prob covered before but running out time and cant find anything
   
   fitted the raceland manifold but now its on there is no way that the bolt will go into the gear box mount now, is this a problem?
   
   and also the lambda sensor is now close to driveshaft, is this a problem?
   
   thanx in advanced

   i dont think it would be to big off a prob, theres always ment to be some play in the bottom off the exhaust where the whole engine moves, not 100% sure tho,
   
   get some vids off the manifold on now just about to pay for mine

   new gasket can be bought from local car shop or halfords
   i used my original gasket tho which was a gamble but paid of as it doesnt blow
   as for the bolts all my original bolts and nuts fit apart from 1
   because they are tall nuts on the manifold there wasnt enough space to put 1of the nuts on as the manifold was in the way so i got a nut the same size as what is on the shocks and that fit
   
   EDIT: anyone know anything bout the lambda sensor now being kinda close to driveshaft, is it ok?

   what all comes with the raceland manifold do you get new bolts to screw into head, gaskets etc?
