Re: Exhaust Manifold Recommendation
Hi Jerry,
You do not say what kind of condition your exhaust manifold is in. My
97 TJ is only now starting to hiss and I am looking at a POR Fire
Sealant 2000 produtct http://www.por15.com/product.asp?productid=7 I
just recieved the catalog in the mail and wa looking at the rust paint
that I have read good things about but I have not heard anything about
this 'exhaust patch'. In any event, it's down & dirty (read that as
chaep) only $15, but I like Bill's $135 product also - depends on your
cash flow and the condition of your manifold.
Good Luck,
Steve
Hey, has anyone heard anything about this Fire Sealant 2000? It's
suppose to handle 2000 degees - huppe or a good product?

While I have not visually verified the extent of damage to my manifold, but
I have all of the classic symptoms. The exhaust noise is loud from the
front, I get a "popping" backfire upon deceleration (more when the engine is
warm) and a strong smell of exhaust coming from the front of the jeep,
especially when the windows are down. It has been a progressive issue for
the last few months, but I have been holding off until the warmer weather
set in so I could do the job more comfortably.
I'm a little worried about the condition of the exhaust studs. They have a
significant layer of rust on them and I am concerned about them breaking
when I remove the manifold. I may go ahead and buy a set of replacements and
an ez-out to have on hand when I do the job. I will also soak them overnight
with penetrating oil before I start.
Any other hints?
Thanks!

I was woried about my ZJ but the bolts all came out with a crecent wrench.
(pb blaster overnight probably didn't hurt)
> Any other hints?
If you do get one that siezes try more PB blaster on the threads and
tap the end lightly with a hammer/drift to break the crud loose.
Remember, clean both the head and manifold. Don't leave any carbon traces
on the head (a scotch brite pad works good) Bits of sock/papertowel will
help keep crud from falling down the exhaust port. ALthough for the most
part that's only going to be carbon flakes from the exhaust port.
