exhaust manifold question ?
« on: October 18, 2007, 04:54:10 PM »
Hi,

My exhaust manifold is cracked, looking at my alternatives for fixing this problem, I was wondering if the exhaust manifold of my 97 1.6l 16v tracker is the same as the 1.6l 8v engine?

thanks

regards

...Even worse, they changed the design somewhere around/after '93 so you have to be extra careful when buying a used one.  I had to adapt a newer exhaust manfold to my '93 1.6 16-valve because I couldn't find a decent '93 manifold (they were all cracked!)  My exhaust guys made something that worked mating the newer manifold to the rest of the exhaust system.

I imagine that I am better off from the ordeal because I DON'T have the crack-prone exhaust manifold!
