My RR V8 EFi 1988 has started to make a spitting sound at between 2500 and 3500 (or so) revs under medium load. I either can't hear it or it stops at higher revs and/or heavy load. I can't hear it off load which makes the guesswork of tracing it less than easy.
Any thoughts?
TIA Richard
Manifold studs become worn allowing the down pipe nuts to work loose. The manifold will need removal and stud replacing it it's this.

Silly *********. I should have checked the 'guaranteed for life' Rimmer Bros SS exhaust for cracks where the 4-into-1 manifolds join the Y piece.
Anyone know how good they are wrt the guarantee?
Richard ;-(
I have a rimmer stainless system on my 90. its very rusty!!!! when i rang them they said it will rust and the 'guarantee' covers for perforation only. the silencer is still very shiney! Personnnally i wouldnt touch them again . Richard
Hi Lee
Both manifolds are split near were the 4 branches combine into one - just short of the connections to the Y piece.
Richard
Actually a split in at least one header pipe in each 4 branch exhaust pipe. (Thank goodness as I was fearing engine horrors)
