Weld the crack. Because the metal of exhaust manifolds is normally very thick, you can turn your welder's power up almost all the way, especially if the machine runs on 110 volt house current. The key is to penetrate deep enough to really repair the area, instead of simply patching up ...
DeLuxes were again fully restyled for 1939, bearing a lower Vee'd vertical-bar grille and clean front fenders with integral headlamps. As in recent years, this styling was created by E.T. "Bob" Gregorie under Edsel Ford's guidance. By contrast, that year's Ford Standards looked like wa...
Especially, modern-day compact cars have little space in the engine compartment. Hence, manufacturers fit very tiny and compact exhaust systems and manifolds in these cars. In addition, manufacturers design exhaust manifolds to avoid overlapping exhaust strokes as much as possible. Thus, it keeps th...
Engines, be they gasoline or diesel, are essentially air pumps, and so they demand a proper supply of clean, cool air for optimum performance. Automatic intake and exhaust fans not only ensure the engines get all the air they need but that the engine room stays comparatively cool, making it...
This was the first version of the Panther, the version so bad it would light on fire if the hull got tilted too much, no joke because the fuel system leaked into the rubber lined engine compartment and when the hull tilted, fuel would hit the e...
There are three ways to rejuvenate old coolant: 1. Recycle It.Take your vehicle to a shop that offers a coolant recycling service. Recycling machines can filter, clean and restore your old coolant to like-new condition. One of the main advantages of recycling is that it reduces hazardous was...
Both gas and diesel combustion engines have manifolds. There are intake and exhaust manifolds in cars, trucks, motorcycles, and boat engines. Air and fuel mixtures enter the engine through the intake manifold, and fuel emissions exit...
The twincam Zetec engine, for example, was lifted to 170 bhp via new pistons, revised cylinder head, variable intake-valve timing, and new intake and exhaust manifolds. Also on the menu were a mandatory new six-speed manual gearbox, firm suspension with 17-inch wheels, and larger four-...
