Post subject:  exhaust template/inlet template

Hi guys does anyone have a template for the exhaust manifold and the inlet manifold for 1500 bellett engine? or even a florian 1600 engine? just checking before I pull my manifolds off to get the templates.

So like a used manifold gasket? Surely someone nearby has one. If nit, I can send you one.
Cheers, Matt.

I could probably use a gasket to make the template hadn't thought of that!

Just remember that there are different heads about tho.....
Round port sedan Square port sedan. Square port GT, so get the correct one.

yeah I will remember that! mine is a bog stock 1500, so should be pretty right I hope!
or I will just have to pull the manifolds off and double check myself.

or, use the head to make a template..... remove manifolds of course...... use some thickish cardboard (like back of writing pads) and hold it over the head....(need a helper here) use a ball pein hammer or similar to trace the indents into the card

Which one tho?
Round or square?
At least the bolt pattern is the same coz it's also different on a GT.

Interesting, it appears that all engines use the same bolt pattern and spacing?

G161 OHV is different.
Very different.

Here are 2 G161 heads. Top is GT, bottom is Florian.

Note on the Flo head is an impression of the Chev Luv G161 gasket that comes with the kit that is still available. It has the square and round holes reversed. (One wonders why??) I tried one once and the gasket leaked through the square corners of the exhaust holes, so no good.
So many variations!
Cheers, Matt.

Exactly Matt.
Very different animal.

Post subject:  Re: exhaust template/inlet template

definitely got a florian head like the one matt showed, braved the cold today and dug through the shed of no return and found my spare florian head. Been way to cold to go outside and pull off the belletts manifolds!
