Hey guys! Quick question about the exhaust manifold gaskets. This is my first time replacing this type of ring crush gasket, im used to the surface type used on Chevy. These gaskets are loose on the manifold flange and 2mm bigger than the hole on the engine block. Are these gaskets suppose to press into the hole with the 180 inch pounds of torque, or is it suppose to fit in the hole and push out upon torqueing to fit? Installing a DocRace single turbo kit and it has been a nightmare. I test fit the manifold prior to attempting bolting it on and the flanges do fit the hole but the gaskets are a no-go. Any info is appreciated. TIA
