Exhaust Pipe gasket? (pic)
Does this gasket go between the front pipe and the header? I'm browsing for a full new exhaust and I've never seen this gasket before. 2.5L AMC 4 banger.

torque.
(4) Install the rear crossmember. Install and
tighten the four (4) crossmember to rear mount nuts

Wonder why they make one for the 4 banger then? If it's only applicable to the 4.0L I won't worry about it. Thanks man.

Cause they use the same exhaust system basically.
My best guess is that the 4.0l produces enough back pressure/flow to warrant a seal between the manifold and pipe, and the 2.5l doesn't. But since it's all the same size and what not, they probably just list it...
I don't see how it would hurt, I say if it fits (which it should), use it.

FSM doesn't explicitly say that there isn't one, but it says there is only one on the 4.0l inline 6. Deduction tells me that the 4 bangers do not have a seal.
Again though, it wouldn't hurt, haha.

The Napa part number is the exhaust pipe gasket for a 2.5L 4 Cylinder AMC engine. That's what I was getting at.

Lol, Yeah, I was just messin' around a bit.
That's interesting that NAPA has it listed. I bet you that it is the same part number for the 4.0 liter gasket.
I say go for it.
