Cracked Manifold Consequences
What are the consquences (especially doing more damage or safety
hazard) of driving with a cracked manifold (something in or near the exhaust system)? I've seen some other posts about how to temp fix, replace and where to take if needed. but what if I just keep driving it. One place missed it, 2 others confirmed it was there. |

Cracked Manifold Consequences
If you run it hard and put it away cold, you'll warp an exhaust valve
for sure. $134 will buy a new manifold: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/ExhaustMani...M00146/623610/ Of course change the search criteria to fit yours.

Basically if you open a window, you need to open one on the other side also to avoid a vacuum into the cab area which will suck it in. Watch for a tight feeling in the forehead with a headache or an uncontrollable sleepy/heavy eyes feeling. If you get either, get air fast! Also watch the wiring so any hot gas jets out of the leak don't hit them melting things.
