Gentlemen,
Just put a new ATS exhaust manifold on last week. 5 & 6 were leaking. I pulled the manifold to make sure the supplied gaskets were good, also checked mating surfaces & everything appears square & good to go. Re-installed making sure torque sequence was correct with torque set at 35 ft-lbs. The leak is less noticeable now, but when the motor is cold or accelerating from a stop you can still hear it & I can see soot & feel exhaust at #5.
Thoughts?
Thank you!
