I dunno how but I cracked my passenger side exhaust manifold...

It's because in Ford's infinate wisdom, they placed a AC condenser drip tube in an area where the water drips on the exhaust manifold. And the rest is history.

it would take a lot more than a little water to crack it. Its heat treated metal. It's make to take the temp. changes like that.

dudes right on....my '90 240sx had a bad lifter....clicked all day long...every now and then it would stop, but the only way to fix that is to put more oil in it then change the lifter.....but thats a costly deal. sorry dog you better fix that quick before you blow up the engine

hey, before i got my car. my dad test drove it and it was making a clicking sound, same thing the higher the rpm's the faster it clicked, the people we got it from sent it to a shop and it turned out to be a bent rod.

just playin you can run with a bad lifter for months as long as you use lube, depends on if its on the exhaust side or not though

07AlloyPony · March 27th, 2007, 10:33 PM

broken rod....much bigger problem.

not to sound stupid but where would I put the seafoam in at?

flames_blue · March 28th, 2007, 11:12 AM

I don't think its a rod. I've herd a bent rod and it was pretty loud.

That's what it takes. Anytime you take hot metal and quickly cool a small section you create a difference in temper, and that difference is a weakness in the metal for fatigue. You're talking about rolled tubing at 600-800* F and water dripping on it that's 50-40* F.

Yeah, i know how it works. But it would take a lot more than that. The metal is heat treated for that reason.
