Exhaust Ring Gasket
Have to replace the exhaust ring on my 1981 1.6na diesel pickup. Picked one up at my local parts place. It looks huge, but was assured it is correct. If anyone has an exhaust ring gasket handy, please give me the ID and OD. Don't want to tare this thing down and have the wrong part. Thanks, Kanzan

Re: Exhaust Ring Gasket
I just finish putting one in my 86TD. I don't know if it's the same. The part # is 161 253 115. It's quite big O.D. 3.5" . I.D. is 2 3/4".

Re: Exhaust Ring Gasket
2 27/32 should be the inside OD. You probably do have the right one. It is large and looks larger than could possibly work.
The old ones were a wire mesh type. The replacement I purchased for my car was a solid metal ring. Both work as well as the other, in my experience, although I did have to beat and pound a little more to seat the solid metal ring where the mesh one would just slide right down over without hesitation.

Re: Exhaust Ring Gasket
For best sealing results run a bead of Permatex Ultra Copper hi-temp gasket sealer around the perimeter of both sealing surfaces.. your ears (and nose) will thank you later.

Coke, thats about what mine measures, weather pretty nasty here today, so I guess I will give it a try. Didn't want to do it twice.
Vinc. Will try to find the permatex, sounds like a very good idea. Kanzan
