Hello,
I made a discovery when I started dissassembly for the 5 speed I'll be putting
in shortly. To give a little background on this, I've been having trouble with
dieseling at operating temperature during shutoff since the get go. I noticed
that the exhaust manifold pipe connection has been leaking. There's a black
exhaust mark on the block and the flange showed leakage over 50% of the sealing
surface. The pipe and clamp were brand new when I installed them 2 years ago.
Would a leaky manifold connection cause dieseling? I've decided to replace the
manifold with the 3 stud design and toss the clamp manifold. Sound logical?
Thanks,
Mike Rivers
