I pulled the manifold and noticed the Rear Housing had a loose exhaust sleeve. Moves approx 1/8 of an inch... it is def noticable that it moves....

this motor was just rebuilt approx 5k miles ago....
Its a little built up too...
1000 cc secondary injectors...

I just took delivery of this motor yesterday...
and want to know if I should back out now...

It has prewired Rtek ecu flash, AFC, Innovative Wideband Came with a Tubular Manifold..

Let me know what you guys think..

 

if you push it in, does it sit flush with the housing, does it rotate much? as long as it sits in the correct spot when you put your manifold on i wouldn't think it would be a problem, but there might be some other members with a litle more insight into this than i.

 

It doesnt come out or anything just a tiny bit "jiggly"? like left to right and up and down but not in and out.....

 

I don't think it would hurt anything, Fidelity101 drove with one that fell out when he rebuild his engine. However, I would back out. It shouldn't do that 5k after a rebuild and may be a big glaring sign of a junk rebuild.

 

Heres a video of what im saying and you tell me what you think

What I said earlier still stands, it shouldn't do that. The only way to fix it includes a rebuild and potentially a different housing.

 

It'll be fine.

 

Can I throw a little weld on it?
