Re: 94 YJ 4cyl -- missing gasket between headers and exhaust pipe?
I took the downtube off again today and snapped a pic
http://www.7900films.com/misc/jeep_downtube.jpg
There's no gasket there, just a rounded metal part that fits in the
downtube. Is this enough to seal it? I fired the jeep up, felt
around the connection and didn't notice any air leaks.

You have a cast iron header, interesting I thought and converted to
steel pipes before that. Yours is probably the best style of connection.
