Hi folks,

For those of you with G16A or B motors (and maybe others) check your exhaust manifold for a crack between 3 and 4 cylinders where the two exhaust outlets join together.
You'll need to pull the heat shield off to see it.
I have a spare which is cracked and also checked the one on my car yesterday and it is also cracked.
As it is caste iron, I won't be welding it. It's a good excuse to fit extractors. :D

They are well known for that.

You can weld it for a quick fix, but it will probably crack again.
Or
Use proper rods for cast iron for a more permanent fix

Some people don't like extractors because of the extra noise.

Does this cracking have a long term effect on the motor, or is it just one of those annoying things under the bonnet that you know is not right.
