EXHAUST MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The exhaust manifolds are log type and made of
Hi-Sil-Moly (high temperature resistant) nodular cast
iron. The exhaust manifolds are attached directly to
the cylinder heads and a cross-over pipe connects the
two manifolds.
OPERATION
The exhaust manifolds collects the exhaust gases
exiting the combustion chambers. It then channels
the exhaust gases to the exhaust pipe that is
attached to the rear (right side) manifold.
