Cracked bolt on exhaust manifold
 

You gurssed it ... it's a 98 TJ.

2.5,,, no crack in the manifold itself. Can i live with it without long term
damage, Minimal noise, but cracked indeed.
Thanks
George

Hi George,
Get it fixed. I don't think you'll find anyone that'll tell you to
live with it. The leak will be sucking air which will mess with the
Oxygen Sensor, throwing off your computer, probably richening your fuel
mixture, washing the lubricate from the cylinder walls, causing you to
junk it next year.
