EXHAUST MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
Engine exhaust manifolds (Fig. 75) are made of
high molybdenum ductile cast iron. A special ribbed
design helps control permanent dimensional changes
during heat cycles.

exiting the combustion chambers, then channels the
exhaust gases to the exhaust pipes attached to the
manifolds.

card the gasket.
CLEANING
Clean mating surfaces on cylinder head and mani-
fold. Wash with solvent and blow dry with com-
pressed air.
INSPECTION
Inspect manifold for cracks.

INSPECTIONÐMEASURING TIMING CHAIN
STRETCH
(1) Place a scale next to the timing chain so that
any movement of the chain may be measured.
(2) Place a torque wrench and socket over cam-
shaft sprocket attaching bolt. Apply torque in the
direction of crankshaft rotation to take up slack; 41
N´m (30 ft. lbs.) torque with cylinder head installed
or 20 N´m (15 ft. lbs.) torque with cylinder head
removed. With a torque applied to the camshaft
sprocket bolt, crankshaft should not be permitted to
move. It may be necessary to block the crankshaft to
prevent rotation.
(3) Hold a scale with dimensional reading even
with the edge of a chain link. With cylinder heads
installed, apply 14 N´m (30 ft. lbs.) torque in thereverse direction. With the cylinder heads removed,
apply 20 N´m (15 ft. lbs.) torque in the reverse direc-
tion. Note the amount of chain movement (Fig. 80).
(4) Install a new timing chain, if its movement
exceeds 3.175 mm (1/8 inch).
INSTALLATION
(1) Line up key in crankshaft with keyway in
sprocket, press on crankshaft timing sprocket, use
tools C-3688, C-3718 and MB-990799, seat sprocket
against crankshaft shoulder (Fig. 81).
