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.

Buick Enclave V6-3.6L - Car AC Repair - Goodyear, Arizona
Had a problem with AC in our 2010 Buick Enclave. Being on a fixed income and not wanting to spend a lot of money on a used car I went shopping. I found reviews on YOURMECHANIC that were very good at reasonable prices. During this pandemic it was also comforting that they do the work at my residence. The AC in the car started blowing hot air on a 103 degree day. I contacted YOURMECHANIC and they were able to get me scheduled in about 3 working days. Pete showed up and isolated the problem. Made the necessary repairs and recharged the system. During the entire process he kept me informed what the suspected problem was what he did to fix it and showed me the results, which were superb. He went through his check and recommended that at the next regular maintenance we replace the brake pads. He sent me an instant quote. Most places in the past I only get to talk with the service writer. Today I was with the mechanic the whole time and he was able to explain in layman terms what the problem/fix was. Very refreshing. Originally, I picked YOURMECHANIC because of price. After today it will because of the entire package of price, expert mechanic, convenience and customer service!
