Mackpro Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 The bottom exhaust manifold bolt holes in the heads are drilled all the way into the push tube opening. Oil runs down the push tube to the lifter, the oil stays there and can come out past the lower exhaust manifold stud. We remove the bottom studs and put silicone/RVT on the threads (threads of the stud only)on the stud and reinstall. It's a common problem . All ETECH style engines are like this.

Jesus Zamudio Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hello, I have a 2003 Mack ch600 and it’s leaking oil from the bottom studs of the manifold. On a job like this rough estimate how much does it cost. I am located in the greater Houston area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Technician Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 JZ, hit up your local Mack dealership for a quote. They have the program in their system to pound out SRT (standard repair time) and parts fast. Hard for us to know what the going rate is around your area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 PAI sells exhaust stud kits. I assume you have an E-Tech engine. You posted on a 3 year old thread, and there isn't enough info about what truck you have.. Jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
