Hemi tick from manifold.

[Oliver Closehauf]

Posting this here because it spans generations. I'd suggested that what's needed is a thick crushable gasket to mitigate the need for machining manifolds when your tick is from the exhaust manifold.

Check out "Percy's Seal 4 Good" header gaskets. They might just do the trick.

Came across this ad some time ago. I'm thinking of replacing the headers at some point to possibly eliminate the chance of ever having the manifold tick again.
1. BBK 4014 1-3/4" Shorty Exhaust Headers
2. BD Diesel Manifold Replacement Kit

Was just watching a video on the BD Manifolds.

BD Hemi Manifold vs OEM

I just had BD manifolds put on. Much beefier than stock. They look like they may flow better than stock. Truck has never been so quiet. BD had the best price.
