This exhaust manifold is very similar to a 02-04 Mitsubishi lancer 2.0 engine #4G94. For those that may wonder.
I'm learning! I love these videos, and I'm getting my tools up
Hey Eric, did you get any fueling problems because of the crack? Like positive fuel trims, lean condition?
Hi is it worth it fixing a Toyota Prius 2010 exhaust manifold or just replacing it ? Thank u
Can these cracks cause the car to overheat?
Geeze Honda had blacksmiths making manifolds..
On my 09 f150 I got charged 6k for a replacement by a shop… even though it had a crack and with having broken bolts I feel ripped off. Any thoughts on this by shop mechanics?
How much do you generally charge for doing that? Do you think a patch job with that putty-like stuff would suffice with a crack like this one? (to pass smog)
What's the best way to determine if it's got a crack before I remove it? I hear this chchchch sound coming from that general area, but my manual transmission is also on its last leg and I cant figure out which it is. It doesn't seem to go away in neutral or when I push the clutch in tho so I'm wondering if it's the manifold? At what point does it throw a code? Would a scan tool pick that up? (04 mustang GT)
Do manifold have noises when cracked
What a dunce. …$6 smear some jd weld putty on there and you're done
Absolutely the best mechanic ericthecarguy!
Wait, did you fill the hole you made with weld?
Do these exhaust cracks cause a lean code?
How much should a repair like this cost from an exhaust shop?
Wow, that looks great after the weld and paint protection!
Which welding rod can I use
Would a cracked manifold make my 95 civic overheat a lil over the half mark? No heat shield
Its a temporarely repair.
Hi Eric, can the turbo bolt hole split in half from over heating or over tightening the bolt? Thanks for your time.
Can you weld a hole in the manifold the size of a dime .
How do you know if it is or isn't cast iron?
I myself am not much of a welding artist, but I make up for my bad welds with 🅴🆇🅲🅴🅻🅻🅴🅽🆃 grinding and painting.
Eric, your bideos helped me finish my first restoration. BTW I'm old. Thanks man.
Everything you do is awesome !!!
is it gonna be as good as new? or last as long as a new one?
Great Video, Thanks
If cast iron needs to be welded can it be heated up and welded with normal mild steel filler wire or a special filler wire?
wru located eric
Eric saw a video of you getting rid of some of your stuff I am a retired vet and looking to make some side money how can I get that tire machine and wheel balancer really enjoy your videos keep doing what you do brother
Nice work 🚘
Good work
Does anyone know the part number for the two spring bolts where the lower end of the manifold bolts to the rest of the exhaust?
ERIC! Before welding the part, start on a test piece everytime and adjust your mashine if needed! Regards from the EU 🙂
Great job eric
Drilled hole way to big.
Hey Eric can I recommend you turn your wire speed up by at least 2 notches on your mig. Sounds to me your on the ragged edge of burning back to the tip . Your welds will go a lot better.
Hey Eric were u able to verify that you solved the oil leak on this vehicle? Reason why I ask is because I replaced my rear main seal twice and still have a oil , I lose half a quarter every 2 weeks on my 98 integra ls
Nothing wrong with those welds, grinders and paint…
Excellent tip
should have used die-check for the crack, the easy smart way.
Insert "crack" joke here –>
sons manifold cracked in exact same spot. didnt know it was not cast iron, and thought I got lucky. how do u tell cast from pot metal?
next time notch the crack with a triangle file, do a thin fillet weld in the crack, then do a cap weld on top of that. your cap weld was a little cold. did u use shielding gas. ?
I was just about to look for how to fix a cracked exhaust video.. How did you know?
Man you've came a long way from the guy with the pony tail. I can't tell you how many cars I've fixed because of your videos. You're a life saver! 🙏🙏🙏
Omg. You look older than u should . 🧐
do you happen to know the part number for a 2006 forester transfer clutch solenoid ? my wife's car is shuttering in turns I think that might be the problem. ?
