I've tried search, Is there a how to for the RH manifold gasket replacement?

No.....

You need to remove the coolant transfer pipe(not easy), the EGR pipe, heat sheild, downpipe etc... and then the studs them selves.

About a 4-6hr job im afraid :(

Just been out to look whats involved and then i realized, it's got LPG injectors fitted to the Inlet Manifold.
Is that gonna cause me more troubles :question

I'm in the middle of doing mine and I also have LPG. I am an Omega virgin so haven't a clue but this site has been very, very helpful. Look back a bit on this section for my thread.

One important tip: I thought it was my exhaust manifold gasket blown, making the noise. IT WAS'NT!! It was the secondary Air Injection pipe rubber joining piece which had split. So check yours first -you may have a similar problem.

On start up mine sounds like O/S is blowing...but after it warms up it's all ok...Is it on way out?  Not liking the 4/6 hour job to be honest...!

Thats how mine was kineavy, and YES it was the gasket

Was a mare to get out as the person who fitted the LPG made a mess of the routing. wires and pipes ran everywhere
I have taken pic but can't get them off the camera till i get to my pc, (on lappy atm).

2 bolts were stripped in the inlet minifold, from the Plenum chamber so gotta repair that tomorrow. :(
