RenBlu 0 Posted May 5 Hello, have an issue with a 1 litre engine with the exhaust manifold getting very hot as soon as you start the car. I timed it properly,tried changing carburetors,fuel pumps,manifold with no change in the issue. Took maybe it was over fuelling issue ? Maybe a valve stuck open ? Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RenBlu 0 Posted May 5 I think it's normal to heat that quick ? Theres also smoke/fumes off the exhaust manifold. After about 30 or 40 seconds you cant even touch the manifold it's that hot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 77 Posted May 5 It's normal for the exhaust manifold to get hot very quickly. But, it's not normal for smoke and fumes to come off it. If there is smoke coming off it there must be Oil getting on to it or maybe it is leaking. Is it smoke or fumes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RenBlu 0 Posted May 5 Definitely seems like fumes. There is new gaskets and the bolts are torqued to spec. Its shouldn't be leaking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 77 Posted May 5 If it is visible it would usually be referred to as smoke. So, is it something you can see? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BALIKBAYAN 9 Posted May 24 Which colour has the smoke? The colour tells you what the problem might be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
