Here are some more information for Exhaust Manifold Left:

Intake and Exhaust Manifolds are critical components of automobile engines responsible for supplying the fuel/air mixture to the engine (intake) and collecting the gases for expulsion (exhaust). They need to be clean and functioning in order for a car to operate at peak efficiency. Problems with the manifolds can result in costly repair and poor performance. Therefore, cleaning these parts before they are added to the engine is a high priority for auto manufacturers and suppliers.

Intake Manifolds

The intake manifold has a high specification of cleanliness. Since the manifold supplies the engine, it must be clean. Debris and contamination in the manifold can be hazardous to the engine, clogging the engine and damaging the car. Metal chips left over from the production process need to be eliminated in order for the manifold to pass inspection by the manufacturer.

They are often made of soft metals, such as aluminum or magnesium. As such, they require specific cleaning chemistry. When selecting a chemistry to use for cleaning them, it is important that the chemistry can effectively clean the manifold without damaging the soft metal construction. Further, the chemistry must not create hydrogen during the cleaning process, because that can result in an explosion.

A common specification for contamination in intake manifolds is in the 1.5mg range. A filter weight test is used to measure the level of contamination. Depending on the design of the manifold, both immersion and spray systems can be effective in reaching this specification. These methods can both produce manifolds with contamination weights less than 1.5mg, usually clearing the standard quite comfortably.

Exhaust Manifolds

The exhaust manifold also needs to be cleaned, but often the specifications are not as stringent as for intake manifolds. This is because this is located downstream from the engine, meaning it does not provide any material for the engine. Rather, it collects gas from the engine and expels it. There are exceptions to this general rule. If a turbocharger is present, it will be located downstream from the exhaust manifold. In this case, it must reach cleanliness levels comparable to the intake manifold, or the turbocharger will be contaminated.

These manifolds are usually constructed from cast iron, and sometimes cast stainless steel. Exhaust manifolds must pass a smoke test before the manufacturer accepts them. A smoke free performance in the test is required by ISO 14001 standards that auto manufacturers adhere to. Rust inhibitors are also necessary to prevent excessive rust. Rust inhibition applies to the cast iron models; a stainless steel manifold, obviously, does not have the same rust concerns. Many manifolds are imported from foreign manufacturers, and therefore American based auto manufacturers require them to be thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure that the foreign production has met the domestic standards in place.

Washer Solutions

For intake manifolds, there is often a specific area of chips and coolant that needs to be removed. These contaminated areas can be cleaned easily and quickly with a custom washer. By using a custom-rotating fixture, along with spray headers targeted specifically for the part, the manifold can meet cleanliness specifications. The fixture will rotate to the locations of the contamination to target individual orifices and enhance cleaning. By rotating in a full circle, optimal drainage and drying can be achieved.

Exhaust manifolds do not require the same level of specificity. For these manifolds, a washer needs to be able to remove chips form the manifold along with applying a rust inhibitor and drying the parts to virtually "bone dry". One way of achieving this goal is a fixtured indexing washer. The system removes contaminant first. After that, a rust inhibitor is applied to protect the manifold. Then a blow dry process leaves the parts dry enough for specifications.

By including multiple filtration features, the part can be cleaned effective. This process includes a special chip basket filter in the fluid that removes the chips via a flush and then returns the part to the process.

These solutions will not work for every situation. However, by working with a qualified and experienced washer manufacturer, a company in need of manifold cleaning will certainly be able to custom design a machine that works to the specifications they require. Producing clean, quality manifolds is important and necessary. Finding a custom washer to assist in the process will go a long way in maintaining the high level of quality required to produce for American auto manufacturers.

Speed and Power in a Turbocharger and a Turbo Kit

Speed and power are two of the most highly desirable qualities in racing cars and high-performance sports cars. More power, more speed, more excitement, more danger seems to be the motto of car owners who install a turbocharger and a turbo kit in the engines of their most prized earthly possession. And why not? Cars are as much a personal statement of who you are and what you stand for as clothes and personal adornments do. If a turbocharger installed in your engine will further stress the point then purchasing a turbo kit is the best decision you will ever make in your automotive career.

But before embarking on the very important and radical decision to purchase a turbo kit, which gives you the right to boast that your car has a very expensive turbocharger, educate yourself about the pros and cons of these high-tech thingamajigs. If you think that a turbocharger can enhance your macho image (well, it does), then you had better brace yourself for the physical and financial demands the purchase and installation of a turbo kit requires from anybody.

Technically speaking, a turbocharger is a turbine-driven forced induction compressor powered by pressure from the engine’s exhaust system, to quote the ever-reliable Wikipedia. If that is still too technical a definition for the common layman, a turbocharger simply converts a waste product, in this case exhaust or air, into more horsepower and therefore more speed. Think of it as recycling with a powerful purpose; if you are an environmentalist who likes hard and fast drives, a turbo kit would satisfy both your likings. A turbo kit, on the other hand, is composed of the turbocharger itself, the exhaust manifold, the wastegate and blow-off valve, the oil supply and the intercooler. But I digress. The pros of having a turbocharger installed include attaining more power (and again, more speed like the Batmobile or the Knight Rider) with the same engine volume. Also, a pre-configured turbo kit is smaller and lighter that other forced induction systems like a supercharger and it is easier to install. Even if you are not using your turbocharged car for its speed, you can still benefit from better gas mileage. Now, the environmentalist in you would love this feature. However, the cons in a turbocharged car include over-steering and under-steering, as well as wheel spin; these are factors in most fatal car accidents. A turbo kit can be very expensive, too. This is not even taking in the cost of maintenance as extensive upgrades are often necessary. Furthermore, the complexity of the technology can cause do-it-yourself headaches. Besides, you need a dyno machine to make sure that everything is working perfectly. Thus, taking on a DIY turbo project is best left to experts.

more problems with my 72 ford ltd wagon. why me?

72 ford wagon 400 2bbl. replaced distributor. car runs rough at first then idles ok. i let run for 20 minutes. the left side exhaust manifold got red hot . car started overheating . no water in the oil though. what could have happened?

To get glowing "red hot" there is a burnt (or bent) exhaust valve. A compression test will confirm this.
