I’m doing my first ever mechanic work it’s on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the in-line 6 4.0 liter think I said that right so far I replaced the thermostat radiator hoses water pump and fan clutch have it torn down for the head gasket to be done now

@blurglide 7 лет назад

Great production quality. Hey- it looks like the Crankshaft position is RIGHT THERE when you take this thing out, so it's probably a good time to swap that out if yours is old

@allanmacdonell2093 3 года назад

Hey!! Great video, great tips. Got one I'd like to share: I learned real quick to bolt the manifold down to a 1/4" piece of plate steel to avoid warping. Use your gasket as a template. You guys rock! Thanks for all your videos!!

Hey brother I tackled this task all alone and with that I also changed the head gasket. Everything was done to bolt pattern and torque specs. Now when I crank it up it revs up to 5000 rpms. Any insight on what could be the issue

@lol123321123321 5 лет назад

Vacuum leak on intake gasket or unplugged vacuum line somewhere most likely

126 lbs for no.6 and no.7 bolts....... You are very welcome

@justinhughes889 7 лет назад

also you guys make removing the intake easy loll

@BigJDinSC 8 лет назад

I think there's a misprint on the torque pattern display you used. I believe the spec for bolts 6 and 7 are 23 N.m (17 ft. lbs), not 23 ft. lbs. I'm by no means an expert, so I could be wrong.

@PabstBoys 8 лет назад

+JonDinCT This is from a service manual, so if it's a typo, all us mechanics have been doin' it wrong for years... But to be honest, the difference between 17flbs and 23flbs on a steel head is negligible. Thanks for the comment though.

Any suggestions on how to get the 2 manifold bolts out of the bottom side of #4 and #5? On my 2001 XJ there are 2 catalytic converters in the way.

@bobboo9871 5 лет назад

Use a stubby ratchet and a 2 in extension stand on a milk crate and you can get your arm in between the manifold and block from the front as long as the power steerimg pump has been removed I know this was an old post but incase others are reading with the same problem I posted an answer anyway

Did you guys flux core weld it or use gas? I’ve heard flux core was good for fixing cracks giving the weld more flexibility so it won’t crack in the same spot so to say, but idk if flux or gas would be better on exhaust. What’d you guys do or have any tips or tricks?

Could you reach ALL the bottom bolts with the extension from the top ? or did you have go underneath to get a few ? Thanks

I recently got a death wobble and discovered a mechanic broke the steering adjuster pin and put a seam on it, so after asking around apparently I had to machine the hole to fit a new pin, so instead I fixed the shady job by my own shady job of putting flat nuts and to close it I used a non threaded screw metal thingy and bent it, I know the pain of being on budget my friends.

@OFFAxisBuilds 8 лет назад

great videos keep them up. how could you tell you needed to repair the manifold? could you here it or was there a loss of power? I have a 95 yj and there seams to be a tick I cant tell if it is a cracked manifold or a bad lifter. it goes away after fully warmed up.

@PabstBoys 8 лет назад

It was really loud. just sounded like an exhaust leak

@OFFAxisBuilds 8 лет назад

i think i might have something similar mine is really loud when i start it and the noise stays loud until it warms up. it almost sounds like a valve tap, but it goes away after it warms up. does this sound like a manifold issue?

@PabstBoys 8 лет назад

Crane 2005 it does. I see the same thing on ford trucks, where an exhaust manifold stud will snap off and have the same symptoms. It's really common for them.

@OFFAxisBuilds 8 лет назад

great thank you. i guess i will be tearing into it soon

@Chooooty 6 лет назад

what would happen if you never fixed your cracked exhaust manifold?

@100ghillie 6 лет назад

the cold air being sucked into those cracks is said to, over time cause warping of the head, but that's just what a few people have told me, it could be an old wives tale.

It'll kill gas mileage and also could get into the vehicle and you'll be breathing in carbon monoxide

@TonySaprano 6 лет назад

How long did it take ? and why do they crack ? Thanks guys

@fredir3596 6 лет назад

Tony Saprano mine did the same thing. My mechanic friend said that it’s the weight of the exhaust fatigues the manifold over time. He says that once it cracks, it’s in a better position. When the cracks are welded, it’s in a better position with less stress. Or something like that. He wasn’t allowed to weld a customer’s manifold so he’d weld the broken ones and install them for friends when theirs cracked.

@xmo552 4 года назад

Weight. Heat cycles . Exhaust taking a bump. Different engine and trans mounts. No exhaust flex. Etc
