Xeryon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 If it is running why are you worried? If it ain't broke don't fix it. And getting married isn't an excuse as it is only as expensive as you guys make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Don't worry about the manifold. All 96-00 manifolds cracked. I am guessing it cracked right between runner #2 and #3 right in the middle of the joint where the O2 sensor attaches? Somewhere around here I have a picture of mine doing the same exact thing.

solysfams_ek Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 I wouldn't get a new engine, not until I'd ran that old one in to the ground anyway... Just be prepared for it to go wrong I guess in the next couple of years (although you might be good for a long time yet!). oh ok thanks will see how long it will last me... hopefully 500k lol jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 you dont need an engine.. keep doing what you're doing and maintain the motor and it will undoubtedly last as long as you maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
