Exhaust manifold Gasket

[Burdar]

The passengers side manifold has a shaft with a flapper valve on it down where the exhaust pipe attaches.  This flapper is closed when the engine is cold which forces exhaust gasses through the bottom of the intake and over to the drivers side.  This aids in engine warm up.  Over the years, the shaft can wear and cause an exhaust leak.

Husk: You see where that pin is coming out the side of the manifold? Near that is a shaft that runs across the manifold and it has a flapper valve inside. Quite often the shaft wears there and exhaust gas leaks out around it. There should be soot there if it is leaking.

Thanks guys!

Now it s clear!

How do you fix it if the leak comes from there?

There should be a shaft that goes across the opening in the manifold that will rotate or used to but it may have already been removed , the pin visable is where the spring pulls against to keep the valve closed when cold

Thanks Chryco!
