Smoke/exhausting coming out of engine bay

Post by phraze84 »

Hey Guys. Well after not running for 7 or 8 months I finally turned on the feroza. With the radiator back in I thought I should be ok to go. But now ive noticed alot of smoke or exhaust coming out of the engine bay. I think it’s a cracked manifold but haven’t been able to pinpoint it yet.

Is there anything else that it could be before I take the exhaust apart?

Have you got your exhaust manifold cover off? Take out the airfiltration (anything right-side of the radiator) to make it easier to get at the bolts.

Once thats off, you will be able to see if you have any cracks. Mine has 3... :roll:

HAHAHA, yeah will do.

Is it possible to weld?

And ive got a shity cover over the manifold, im asuming its a heat shield or something. My mate reacons i can get rid of it. Should i keep it on or is it ok to run without one?

I've got an uncracked manifold sitting in the junk pile - it will be heading for the scrap very soon, so get it whilst its available if your interested.

Its free to a good ( or any.... ) home but you have to take care of the getting bit. ;)
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
