Exhaust Manifold: Testing and Inspection
Exhaust Manifold Cleaning/Inspection
EXHAUST MANIFOLD CLEANING/INSPECTION
1. Clean the exhaust manifold using a suitable solvent. Use a plastic scraping tool to clean the gasket sealing surfaces.
2. Use a special tool (or 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 in), install a new exhaust manifold.
Note
^
Now exhaust manifold gaskets studs, nuts and/or bolts must be installed when an exhaust manifold is serviced.
