Exhaust Manifold: Procedures
Exhaust Manifold - Cleaning
CLEANING
Clean the cylinder head and exhaust manifold sealing surfaces with a suitable scraper. Use a Scotch-Brite(TM) pad or equivalent.
Exhaust Manifold - Inspection
INSPECTION
Inspect the exhaust manifold for cracks. Measure the exhaust manifold for flatness. Place a ruler over all of the exhaust ports and insert a feeler gauge
between the port flange and the ruler. Maximum deviation from flat is 0.20 mm (.008 inch).
Inspection of turbocharger mounting flange: Using a straight edge across the longest sections of the flange, measure the flatness using a feeler gauge.
Warpage shall not exceed 0.1mm (0.0039 in). When measuring the exhaust manifold flanges, the total sum of exhaust flange and the turbocharger flange
cannot exceed 0.1 mm (0.00039 in). If this is the case, the component with the greatest warpage must be replaced.
