Replace original manifolds with pacemaker extractors

[Vp Mang]

Hey guys just wondering I’ve got a VP V6 1992 Commodore and I was wondering if the OEM gaskets would fit up with pacemaker extractors or do I need to buy new gaskets if anyone can get back to me would be great thanks!

Buy new gaskets, for headers that take 3-4hrs to fit why would you skimp out on $25 worth of gaskets?

AFAIK they didn't come out with gaskets from the factory, so doubt there are original Holden gaskets even for sale.

So the original gaskets won’t fit is what your saying?

If you are asking if you need special Pacemaker gaskets, then no, some gaskets from Repco, the engine machinist or somewhere else will be fine.

If the Pacies are SH, then go to an exhaust shop and replace the small one for the single joint in the runners on the drivers side.

Just in case you not sure how to fit them, you will need to unbolt the rack to get them up through the gaps from underneath. You might get away with disconnecting the right tierod end, but likely you will still need to shift the rack.
