Exhaust Manifold: Testing and Inspection
Exhaust Manifold Cleaning and Inspection
Special Tool(s)
1. Clean the exhaust manifold using a suitable solvent. Use a plastic scraping tool to clean the gasket sealing surfaces.
2. NOTE: New exhaust manifold gaskets, studs, nuts and/or bolts must be installed when an exhaust manifold is serviced.
Using the special tool (or a precision straight edge) and a feeler gauge, check the exhaust manifold sealing surface for warpage. If the warpage is
greater than 0.76 mm (0.0299 inch), install a new exhaust manifold.
