I think that from the factory, 4.2's only had the intake gasket, and the exhaust was metal to metal. After market parts places make a gasket which mates both the intake and exhaust manifolds to the block. The dealer only sells stock parts, so they don't offer the combo gasket. (sorry for answering my own questions, but between the YJ forum, and another jeep forum, I pretty well have it figured out.)



Combo gasket

Any gasket set I got for my old 258 head was a 2 peicer. The exhaust manifold gasket was a metal coated material and I'm almost positive that it went up against the head. The intake gasket was a cardboard type material that would go between the intake manifold and exhaust manifold gasket. Tighting the intake manifold down would crush the metal coated exhaust manifold gasket to seal around the openings.
