RE: [Chrysler300] Leaking

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,

 

Sorry to read about your problem.  A few words of advice from someone that
has run into these problems before.  Most likely the issue is a warped
exhaust manifold (as others have indicated).  The manifold needs to be
resurfaced after it has been repaired.  A properly fitting exhaust manifold
needs NO gasket.  Now about that repair, there is the challenge.  You must
find a shop that really knows what they are doing, as exhaust manifolds are
difficult to weld and make a lasting repair.  Seek out a company that
specializes in this type of repair, if it is not done right you will have to
do it over and it may not be repairable by then, not to mention the work in
installing and removing it.  As you know, these manifolds are very hard to
come by, so try to work with what you have.  Others may be able to refer you
to a competent shop, or look in Hemmings "services" section or online.  It
takes skill and knowledge to fix it right, not just a guy with a welder.
I'm told they need to be pre-heated in an oven prior to the weld, and a
special type of weld used.

HELP , HELP !!! Over the last year I have developed leaks in the dr. side
ex. manifold. This is the third time. Changed the gaskets twice, going on
three. Sat. morning the paper , had some REMFLEX Ex. gaskets advertised that
"guaranteed" not to leak. Anyone had any experiance with these? Now for the
big problem!! While removeing the manifold tht bolt hole broke off the end
of the manifold. Does anyone have a spare driverside ex. manifold casting
,for a 413 crossram??? I have it at the welders, now to try to fix it , but
would like to have a good one as a spare, in case the weld does not work
out. I had Felpro and a summit all copper gaskets and all leaked some. Gary
in so. Oregon, with a loud and leaking Big G
