This replacement exhaust manifold is designed for use with compatible construction plant and machinery engines. The exhaust manifold collects exhaust gases leaving the engine cylinders and directs them into the exhaust system, making it an important component of the engine’s exhaust gas path.
Features and Benefits
- Replacement exhaust manifold - suitable for replacing a damaged or unserviceable manifold on compatible machinery.
- Engine exhaust component - channels exhaust gases from the engine into the downstream exhaust system.
- Suitable for construction equipment - intended for compatible plant and machinery applications.
- Workshop replacement part - useful during engine repairs, exhaust system maintenance and machinery refurbishment.
- Plant hire maintenance - suitable for professional workshops responsible for maintaining construction and hire fleets.
- Helps restore exhaust integrity - replacing a cracked or damaged manifold can help address exhaust leakage at the manifold assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an exhaust manifold do?
An exhaust manifold collects exhaust gases leaving the engine cylinders and directs them towards the rest of the exhaust system.
What are the signs of a damaged exhaust manifold?
Possible signs include increased exhaust noise, visible cracks, exhaust gases escaping around the manifold, damaged mounting points or evidence of leakage around the manifold gasket. Proper diagnosis should be carried out before replacing components.
Should the exhaust manifold gasket be replaced at the same time?
The gasket and sealing surfaces should be inspected whenever the manifold is removed. If the gasket is damaged, deteriorated or unsuitable for reuse, fitting the correct replacement can help prevent exhaust leakage after reassembly.
Should exhaust manifold studs and bolts also be checked?
Yes. Inspect the mounting studs, bolts, nuts and threads when replacing a manifold. Heat cycles and corrosion can make exhaust fasteners particularly susceptible to deterioration or damage.
Top Tips
- Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely before carrying out maintenance.
- Inspect the manifold gasket and mating surfaces when the manifold is removed.
- Check studs, nuts and bolts for corrosion, damaged threads or breakage.
- Investigate the cause of a manifold failure rather than replacing visibly damaged components without further inspection.
- Confirm machine and engine compatibility before ordering - the current product information does not specify a particular manufacturer or model.
