4004 exhaust gasket gasket

These look; to me, like gaskets still stuck in the head.

They were under another set of gaskets...
Can anyone confirm that there isn't some sort of insert in the head
before I bugger it up trying to haul out what I think are gaskets.....

Cheers.

There's no insert in the head. Looks like someone didn't realise there
were still existing gasket rings in the manifold and just bunged in
another set. I've seen it before.

Lever them out with a screwdriver blade and carry on.

I'm pretty sure I've done it.

 

I know I have, having mistaken severely crushed gasket rings for the
manifold casting itself.

 

Christ, this is like the inaugural meeting of Crap Mechanics Anonymous

 

On my 250LC, I deliberately put on 2 exhaust gaskets, as with just one
it started leaking too quickly

 

It's making me feel better about having to ask

 

LOL

Yes, I can understand that. Amazing how they all come out of the
woodwork, innit?

 

Never ride your K1100LT off the centrestand before bolting on the top lug of
your new ohlins shock

 

On my RD there are two copper gaskets and two flange gaskets, it's the
only way it will seal at all, and has been the case on every RD I've
ever had, doesn't make a difference if they're pattern or genuine parts
either.

I sent the CB head off for blasting with the gaskets in place as I
didn't see them, and I only just noticed when putting the exhausts on,
bit of a rummage with a pointy thing had them both out.
