CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD (Page 3/3) A_Lonely_Potato NOV 04, 10:14 AM quote Originally posted by Patrick: eti engineer NOV 06, 08:59 AM quote Originally posted by WKDFIRO: Also check your mounts, specifically the torque strut (up on top) and the forward transmission mount. If they are bad than the engine movement pivots right at the point of the manifold cracks. When I pulled the cradle out, I re-did the motor and transmission mounts. They are all new. The old front transmission mount was broken in half. Maybe the manifold was cracked before I did this work and I didn't notice it in the rebuild. The rest of the exhaust system is new, all the way to the tips. One thing the new exhaust system does that the old one didn't is, as it's warming up, the metal makes a snapping sound. Same as when it is cooling down. Cheap Chicom metal that is going to give me trouble in the future? eti engineer NOV 06, 09:02 AM quote Originally posted by Daryl M: I got 2 emails. Was that you? I sent photos. We're square now. It was me, but you already know that after our phone conversation (LOL!!!). Thanks for the comeback and I will be looking forward to getting the manifolds, but not to having to do the replacement...
