Thanks Photoshop ------------- Photoshop Replies: Posted By: David F Date Posted: September-22-2005 at 12:30pm I assume you are speaking of the exhaust manifolds. You can pressure test them. Bolt a solid rubber (thick) sheet between the manifold and riser to block of the water passages. you could also use sheet metal with gasket material on both sides. Then cobble together a fitting for the drain plug that will allow you to connect your garden hose to the manifold. Turn on the water and look for leaking water at the manifold.

You hate getting water into the engine if the blank of plate leaks while testing.
