Exhaust Manifold Cleaning and Inspection
|
|
1.
|
|
Note
|
|
Do not reuse the exhaust manifold-to-cylinder head gaskets. Upon installation of the exhaust manifold, install a NEW gasket. An improperly installed gasket or leaking exhaust system may effect On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II system performance. Remove the oxygen sensor prior to cleaning the manifold. Do not submerge the oxygen sensor in cleaning solvent.
|
Clean the exhaust manifold (1) in solvent.
|
|
3.
|
Inspect the heat shield for damage.
|
|
4.
|
Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge and measure the exhaust manifold mounting face for warpage.
An exhaust manifold face with warpage in excess of 0.25 mm (0.0100 in) may cause an exhaust leak and may affect OBD II system performance. Exhaust manifolds not within specifications must be replaced.
