The first attachment is of the manifolds showing the combined gasket at #10.

The other attachments give the procedure for replacing the manifold gaskets. It isn't a job to be started without pointing out the possible pitfalls. The 'preliminary operations' point out that the bolts and nuts must be treated with a rust solvent. This is imperative as they have probably been in there for 13 - 14 years and will be well rusted. If they snap as you remove them the cylinder head will have to be removed to have the broken bolts taken out by a machine shop. I speak from first hand experience as I have just replaced the manifold gasket on my son's 17 year old Talbot Express motor home. I broke 3 bolts which had been soaked in penetrating oil!!
You will have to decide if you are able to do this when you read the instructions in the attachments.

I hope this will help you to make up your mind.
