I was very surprised , when I take off the exhaust manifold , to see no gaskets.
Is it normal ?, and if yes do I need to put something like a thermic glue
(I'm not sure of my English)

Thank's

Where are you referring to on the exhaust manifold? On my 3.4L, between the mani and the heads, there should be a gasket. If there isn't, someone went cheap on a prior repair and didn't put one back on. If you are talking about at the crossover pipe connection or going into exhaust downpipe, you are correct. Gaskets aren't needed there. You'd be wise to use antisieze on all the studs/bolts that you see though.

No, the 3,8l Engine have no Gasket... that's correct. Don't use any Gasket for the exhaust manifold because the exhaust manifolds will break again but yet about the gasket.

I was referring to the 3.4L. I didn't see in their profile that they had a 93 TS.
