RenBlu 0 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 144 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Maybe normal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RenBlu 0 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 144 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
RenBlu 0 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Definitely seems like fumes. There is new gaskets and the bolts are torqued to spec. Its shouldn't be leaking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stivino 144 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 If it is visible it would usually be referred to as smoke. So, is it something you can see? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
