How To Replace an Exhaust Manifold / Intake Manifold / Header / Gasket

[@ericpendleton1667]

Matt: I realize the last couple comments were almost a year ago but I wanted to make sure that other YJers like me didn't run into the same issue regarding the EGR tube. If you are planning on removing the exhaust manifold to do a swap you're going to run into that nifty tube running from the bottom of the intake manifold down into the exhaust manifold. You want to make sure that little guy doesn't bend or break because finding one can be a real hassle! Keep up the good work... there are guys like me that watch your videos a couple times before and during anything under my own hood.

I want to say THANK YOU for all of your informative videos, and your clear explanations. There's no way I could have fixed my vehicle or even learn about my vehicle if I didn't find your channel! I really really mean it, thanx!

[@bleepinjeep]

mmca9323 no problem, thanks for the comment and the sub!

[@ftbl74]

Fantastic video, thanks for doing these! I just changed my exhaust manifold on my 97 wrangler and this video was a ton of help! I can't wait to do more with your help!

[@bleepinjeep]

Mike Stoddard no problem, thanks for the sub!

Matt I found that if you get a piece of garden hose and put 1 end to your ear and run the other end along and around the exhaust pipe you will find the leak real easy.

[@SeriouslyAwesome]

Feel pretty confident that this needed more work before long (particularly around the manifold). I think Matt would agree, this early video has some real cringe to it. Still, I appreciated it because there aren't enough 2.5l motor videos out there. It helped me the first time I changed my exhaust mani. I had about as much fun as Matt. It can be a rough time esp if you spring air leaks and loosened bolts down the line (likely because of bad torquing--best tip would be to use a flex socket with extensions with your torque ratchet)

[@davetaf1323]

dude besides your great vids.........I love the additional props you attire yourself with ...........keeps my eyes glued lol

[@bleepinjeep]

usually you can hear or feel the leak. it will mess up your O2 sensors for sure.

i know Im kinda off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online ?

[@xanderkeagan3774]

@Alonso Fisher Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)

[@averysalvador3379]

@Xander Keagan definitely, I've been using FlixZone for months myself :)

[@alonsofisher8910]

@Xander Keagan Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !!

[@xanderkeagan3774]

@Alonso Fisher Glad I could help :)

[@mazamike]

Awesome, I need to do this for my '97 2.5 liter. Thanks for the share.

[@clarencetrumble-lovegod1188]

Thanks for this! I'm doing this on mine tomorrow

[@Ricky039]

GREAT VIDEO, when u say donut gasket, which is what I call it to, do u mean " exhaust flange gasket " ????? That's the part that comes up when I search

[@351cleavland]

To identify any leaks fill a spray bottle with soapy water. Spray the intake/exhaust mating surfaces on a COLD engine. Don't be afraid to do a heavy spray and start the engine. If there are any leaks there is a chance that they will cause the soap solution to bubble.

[@rawdata7569]

Hook a shop vac up to the exhaust, reverse the direction.

[@patrickmurphy3]

Take it easy mate, live and learn.

[@patrickmurphy3]

As Denny177 says, you do NOT want that debris getting into the motor. I hosed mine down with engine degreaser, waited for it to do its job and then used a towel to wipe it clean. This way you won't get crud in your engine.

[@bleepinjeep]

I would assume you can but I'm no welder... you might want to ask one. there are some good welding channels on YT

[@toad9123]

did the bracket hold so there was no leak?

[@NLGOff-Road]

why does that look nothing like the 2.5l in my yj?

[@bigb67676]

the original gaskets technically were only intake gaskets and that is why there were no holes for the exhaust ports.

HAS ECHO DE TODO,,,, MAT,,,, QUE BIEN ERES BUENO ,,,,,,, QUISIERA PODER ABLAR BN INGLES Y PODER IRTE AYUDAR,,,

[@perryjones8997]

Hi...first of all...thank you so much for the video. Is invaluable to those of us who don't have a service manual....but...please...specify the Year and transmission TYPE of jeep you are doing...I have a 95 yj (2.5 5 speed) and your engine is NOT like mine. Details...thanks so much again.

[@creeperqueen187]

Will gas leak while the jeep is idling if there is a manifold leak near the motor?

[@swoletroll174]

How can I tell if my 1999 jeep wrangler has a header ???? I just bought it 1999 jeep wrangler tj.... I can't tell if its a header or stick maniifold

[@fatjackson72]

A header will look like pieces of tubing bent and welded to a collector at one end and a flat flange at the other end. A stock type manifold will look like it was all cast as one piece. Usually a header looks more slender, less bulky.

[@sory4beinanonymous]

My 2.5L comanche is missing the SAME bolt in the exhaust manifold. I’ve been putting off swapping the gasket because it’s snapped off at an angle

[@mudhound0530]

love your vids.

[@jamesmcgowan1769]

What's the name of the book you're use?

[@albertort1]

Hi i have a 98 chrysler cirrus and i was replacing my injectors but when i took the intake manifold off the gasket had oil, what causes that and should i replace the gasket?

[@bajasandboard7458]

What happens if you have a bad exhaust gaskets or a broken manifold and how can you tell this is the problem?

[@markroy7236]

Sorry, I know this is an old video, but how can you tell when you should replace that manifold gasket?

[@bajasandboard7458]

can I flux core weld the exhaust ..manifold doesn't look cast?

[@anmichall]

thanks

[@chicago85bearz]

What is wrong with using sandpaper?

[@jessemathis6720]

He has a life jacket on!

[@egtarheelfan]

EZ out is the worst tool to use. I know this from experience. What I had to do to my 300 ford was actually weld buttons onto the end of the broken off stud (being extremely careful not to weld the broken stud to the block) until I had enough filler metal on the end to weld on a nut. Then let her soak in PB Blaster over night, hit her with the torch in the morning (just have a fire extinguisher handy) and she finally broke loose. Hard to explain the process.

[@dadirtydawg7789]

The exhaust bolt on the bottom that is blocked by the manifold. A socket doesn’t fit, what is the trick?? I KNOW YOU KNOW lol

[@Flexicokerboy]

Atta Boy! Get that sandpaper sand into the head!

[@garyh5225]

How. The FUCK. Do I get the power steering pump bolts that are in between the bracket and and the pump that go in to the intake?

[@denny177]

i think he is more worried about the metal shavings getting into the motor.

[@thebug4046]

T.B.I EA! MY 93 YJ 2.5L IS M.P.I

[@EvanMoon]

Your engine shrunk

[@Big_John_C]

Sandpaper near the intake ports??? Gee I'm sure glad your not working on my Jeep.!!! Unsubscribing
