We made a quick 600-mile round trip on Friday and Saturday,
to attend a family reunion. The last three fifths, or about
350 miles of it, were certainly memorable! I don't think
I'll ever forget the expression on bystander's faces as I
drove buy with one cylinder exhausting directly out the
exhaust port! It seems much quieter at 60mph than it does at
idle!
This seems to have started right after I hit a chug-hole,
and my thought initially was that I must have broken the
exhaust pipe loose from the manifold, but everything seems
to be in place.
The only thing that could account for that much noise is a
blown exhaust manifold gasket, and the maintenance manual
says that there is no such animal!
Someone please tell me if the proper remedy is to just bolt
the exhaust manifold on without any gasket (and without any
sealer of any kind) as it tells me to do in the x-7525
maintenance manual, or if I should obtain some sort of
exotic gasket and sealer material to correct the problem.
Anyone?
