Re: exhaust leak

Check to see that the head pipe to manifold bolts are tight. There are no gaskets but with heat cycles, the bolts can have a tendency to not be tight enough. You might want to put some penetrating oil on them for a couple of hours before attempting to move them.

I recently replaced my 5.9 Magnum with 140k and when I took off the exhaust, the bolts were pretty loose. No leaks but loose all the same.
