Thread: td5 exhaust manifold

i ground out the webbing & got it shaved flush again, never had a problem since.
it used to creak & make a few noises as it cooled (exhaust manifold) before but no more funny noises either since i done this

Already cut and skimmed the manifold, its probably been on 2 years and its leaking again

do you think its's warped again or just the gasket?
the gasket is 2 pieces pressed together, im not so sure thats a good thing.
plenty will disagree tho

Where can you get them skimmed? Was thinking an engineering joint? Or engine builder?
Mine has a nice squeal at the moment

Did you elongate the manifold stud holes allowing the manifold to grow as such.
Did mine without dewebbing 3 years ago no more problems.
Regards

I took mine to an automotive head reconditioner. Cost $50. They did the turbo flange face as well. I've had it on about 2 months so can't comment on longevity yet.

Would you mind mentioning the shop? I'll file it away for next time I need to get it done - it was extremely difficult finding a place that would do it for me last time.

Cheers!

Hi Michael.

It was done by Enoggera Cly heads. I can't recall the number. But Google should tell you. The workshop is old school. Like stepping back to the fifties. But there work is spot on. Highly recommended.
