those dont show it bolted up to the motor. thats the first place i looked. i just need to know if the plate that holds the header on has to have no gap between the engine and it.

No, every one of my three 200es have a gap between the plate and the engine. The gasket squishes some to make the seal as far as I know.

Yes just make sure you have the copper colored gasket in there and tighten the 2 nuts to spec. There will be a gap between the plate and the head.

Thats what I meant also no there shouldn't be no gap between.

hm. it doesnt seem like mine is even capable of the "no" gap option. maybe its because im using bolts instead of studs because they broke? as of now its not acting like there is an exhaust leak as no smoke is coming out of that area so it seems to be good.
