sicripp83 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 hey everyone I got my Z running real good over this past fall, only down fall was the annoying exhaust leak. so I got my self a new gasket and tore the intake and exhaust manifold off. only broke 1 stud. 2 were already gone but what kinda bothers me is that the #1 cylinder exhaust liner was broken, and I basically pulled it out with little effort. I have no intentions on rebuilding or swapping in a new engine at this time. im going to replace the gasket and run it, just wanted to know if its going to run poorly thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Obstructions at the edges of flow are the main problem you might have. The liners exit inside the edges of the exhaust manifold. Without the liner you might get turbulence and flow obstruction. Put a gasket on the head and you'll see how bad it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicripp83 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 newzed the liners do not protrude from the exhaust manifold flange surface. they are slightly inward maybe 2-3 mm. while checking this I did not that the rest of the liners are loose though, but will not move back and forth.
