Thread: TD5, warped exhaust manifold

I'm not sure if the manifold warps & breaks the studs or the studs break then the manifold warps.

We've had a few surface ground to get them flat again & then replaced the studs. It took a few machine shops before we could get one who'd do the work though. They're not easy to set up apparently.

had mine machined twice so far

just finished putting a new gasket on today

TD5 are known for doing them :wink:

TWICE ! mmmmm this could get boring very quickly, I hope this is a one off for me.

I bought the gear to fix this because the LR extended warranty mob advised they don't cover exhaust systems ,,,,,and they photo copied the "items not covered "to prove it :!: .......I wish I had had another look at the policy before I bought the bits,,,, under engine componants covered, it lists exhaust manifold. 8) another gem of LR PR. 8O ops: :roll: *#@&!!!

With each day my old V8 is looking better and better.
God I had a good run with it

i'm going to see a bloke i know thats into exhausts

fingers crossed he can come up with a solution :wink:

i'll let you know when i do

I'd be interested in that Ray, as i did mine just recently, broken stud and warped manifold.

Got the manifold machined by an engineering workshop in Barry Ave Penshurst, he says he's done a few TD5s, at $40 i can't complain.

And as luck would have it, i had a stud left over from my old Superbike that i blew up before the last Bathurst race in 88 , fitted perfect

You guys wouldn't have chipped diesels that cause higher EGTs by any chance???

I know Hiline & Redback are chipped but it happens with the standard diesels also.
We had a run of them last year but not one for a few months now.

No real surprise it warped if chipped, the hotter engines do it.

Mines gone 3 times, warped manifold every time too. :roll:

Extended warranty paid up each time.
