Tee Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Dudes, from doing a bit of research I've found this may be the exhaust manifold gasket, when I'm driving it turns into a large clicking sound coming from the passenger side of the car (your driver's side!). Thought I'd let your expertise kick in, thanks in advance for any help. http://yfrog.com/cb9g3z http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/826/9g3.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxgsfmdpx Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) I had an exhaust leak coming from the manifold due to one of the bolts being stripped. Was a similar sound but much higher pitched (could be less exhaust was leaking than yours if that is what the noise is,) and greatly increased when the RPM's increased.

Tee Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Ye that's the same with mine, and I know the bolts getting stripped is very common, I'll have to be extra careful when removing the manifold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! Make sure to not cross thread the holes on the head. I had to re tap those holes on one of my old Mazda's. I was lucky that all the metal blew right through and out the tail pipe. Was VERY scary when we fired it up haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
