What is the Exhaust Manifold Gasket all about?

Depending on your engine and type of vehicle, the exhaust manifold can either be a set of pipes or it can be a cast iron manifold assembly. Essentially the exhaust manifold takes the burned exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinders and ejects the gas through the exhaust system and out through the car's tail pipe. The exhaust manifold gasket seals the surface of the exhaust manifold to the surface of the cylinder head, preventing leaks in the system. Over time, the constant expansion and contraction of the components (caused by constant heating and cooling in the engine), may cause the gasket to leak. These leaks can be hazardous as hot exhaust gases escape and can damage other components in the engine compartment. A leaky exhaust manifold gasket can also impact engine performance.

Keep in mind:

Sometimes an exhaust manifold starts to leak because a mounting bolt has broken. If this happens, the mechanic will have to remove the broken bolt or stud, which can increase the labor time needed to fix the problem. Your mechanic may charge you an additional fee, depending on the severity of the situation.

How it's done:

  • Inspect exhaust system for leaks.
  • Determine if it is the manifold or flange gasket that is leaking.
  • Remove and replace faulty gasket.
  • Apply anti-seize to the threads of the bolts.
  • Install new exhaust manifold gasket.
  • Start car and check for any exhaust leaks.

Our recommendation:

The exhaust manifold gasket helps in transferring burned gasses from the engine. It is located in a high temperature zone, and it will leak eventually. There is no way to prevent it. Your mechanic should use anti-seize compound on the bolts when they are replacing this part. This will help prevent bolts from breaking in the cylinder head.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Exhaust Manifold Gasket?

  • Loud noise from engine.
  • Lack of engine performance.
  • Check engine light is on.
  • Smells from the engine compartment (eg. plastic components next to exhaust manifold melting from escaped heat).

How important is this service?

A leaky exhaust manifold is a health and safety concern. Hot exhaust gases escaping from the engine can be a fire hazard melting nearby plastic components in the engine compartment.

Saturn L200 L4-2.2L - Fuel Filter - Las Vegas, Nevada
I booked a service call because I was having issues starting my Saturn. Milton was prompt and really informative. I had narrowed the problem down to a fuel filter because, on a previous appointment, I was told that the starter and fuel lines were not what was preventing my car from starting normally. Milton checked the fuel delivery system to be sure that everything was intact and operating properly. He clearly explained that, in his opinion, a fuel filter should not be at fault in this particular situation, and that he would not make any repairs unless necessary. He considered that the problem might be a battery that had outlived it's usefulness. Milton ran a battery check, and voila...it did not pass the test. He replaced the battery and, in my mind, that seems to have fixed multiple issues. Milton is a knowledgeable, easy going guy that surely knows his business. For as long as I might require repairs, Milton is the man to do them. I'm very happy with his work and attitude.

Saturn L200 L4-2.2L - Car is not starting Inspection - Los Angeles, California
Reginald was a master explainer. He went through his thought process as he figured out what was wrong with my car. Any question i had about what some part is or how does something work, he broke it down in a way I could understand it and answered all my questions. He was honest with me and that's all I ever want from a mechanic. He showed me exactly where the problem lied with my vehicle and helped me to consider all of the options moving forward. Regnald is a class act and provided 5 star service. Would highly recommend.
