Hey guys,
I've had over pressurization of my cooling system and vomiting coolant from overflow. I tested system with a double reagent test and found exhaust gasses in cooling system. I blocked the egr cooler lines and tested again, same deal.
Ordered parts for head gasket and studs, etc Pulled head, had major problems removing 1 AND 2 injectors, 3 and 4 came out by hand.
Anyway, i pulled the head and found some small cracks between valves, #3 cylinder. I ordered a new head, and 5v glow plugs, and harness, and bought the 5 volt software from gde.
Was cleaning up parts today and was going to weld up a plug for the exhaust manifold/erg system, and found a crack in the face of my manifold from the turbo seal area, about 3/5 inch into the exhaust runner. this is cracked across the seal face, basically.
Is there a good source for these exhaust manifolds? IDI does not have them, I am fearful of ordering from mopar parts america and having them sit on back order. Rock auto does not have them.
I can probably find a machine shop to repair the crack, or i can buy the correct reagents and weld it myself.
Because it's into the runner and the flange face i'd rather buy a new one, i'd have to machine the flange face and remove excess from inside the runner around a 90 degree angle and this seems difficult.
