Re: replacing exhaust manifold...any good sites?

Sure, did you ever try to check your nuts with your fingers on a cold day??? Good luck finding them! ;)

that's in the... er, manifold I presume?

Yeah, down around the exhaust outlet... ;)

All this talk about checking one's nuts when its cold (engine), makes me wonder....... where's Jo ??? this seems to have become similar to one of her threads.... :-P

Snow..."only check your nuts with gloves on..cold hands are not good.."

I just put a Borla header on my Cherokee and am happy. They make them for YJ's. I think Banks makes them too. There are aftermarket manifolds out there, but I don't know much about them.

These manifolds on Jeeps crack all the time. It is VERY common.

"Your best advice is to check the nuts with your fingers on a cold engine" Now if that isn't the dirtiest non-dirty mechanical line, I don't know what is...

OK, I'm being lazy and don't want to look it up... what year did Chrysler start making them?

Anyone got a link for the "bellows" type of manifold for the I-6? Actually just looking for a good picture that shows the bellows close up. Mainly curiosity.

Canadians use the same term as you.

First time I ever heard 'zerk' fittings was on the net.
