Thread: symptoms of a slipped liner

loose exhaust manifold bolt (or missing) if its anything like the v8 discos Ive owned left bank rear every time.

thanks Dave, hope you are right.
I was reading further about slipped liners and they only generally become noisy when the engine is warm. This is a constant throb from cold so lends more weight to the exhaust manifold.
I will check out the exhaust manifold tomorrow

G`day , it`s pretty common for the manifolds to crack but you probably need to remove the covers to see .

when you refer to taking off the covers are you talking about the metal heat shields located on the top? If the manifold is cracked can it be fixed? welded or some of that muffler fix or is it a replacement job?

Change my comment.......... The guy is not conclusive this is a liner problem

that sounds like a head gasket. Mine is much quieter than these seem to be and there is no metalic rattling sound as in the other video.

hopefully its just a blown manifold gasket.

i'd say the jigger has blown an exhaust gasket.

grab your wife's bottle of windex and squirt the exhaust manifold where the manifold bolts to the head with the engine running.

you will probably see and hear where it is leaking.

it is a common problem.

if it hasn't been doing it for long, you may get away with tightening the manifold bolts but you will need to replace the gaskets soon.

thanks Harry,
I will check that out tomorrow afternoon if I get a chance and update after.
