Manifold ... in good condition???

[LazyLunatic]

I dont know lots about engines so here a pic of my exhaust manifold. It is basically all rusty and sh!tty, does it need replacing?



Also, do I need the manifold cover? Is it used as a heat sink, cause it gets pretty hot?

Cheers

looks ok to me, if its off a mk3 it will be rusty - they are old now! unless it has holes in it, it is fine, i would say!

seems okay to me too

took out a few parts to see more of the engine and sh!t loads of it is rusty. Just thought some of it might be worth replacing.

Tis OK, sweet, more money for the pocket.

Actually, is it worth taking it off and tidying it up a bit, remove rust, etc? That goes for all parts really.

Cheers all

not unless its a show car no

[ivegotagti]

you could sit for hours and remove rust yes, but as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd.

manifolds as tidy as mine..... and i guessing your also looking at the block which again being iron its nothing to worry about.

oh yeah please can you reduce the size of the signiture pic... a bit tooo large!!
