Automobile Manifold Gasket Replacement

Model: Citroen Zx MK 1 - Years 1991-1998
Part: Engine

The exhaust manifold connects part of the automobile to the exhaust system. Its function is to connect the gases produced by the combustion of fuel from the cylinders to the exhaust pipe. By replacing the old manifold with a newer one, you can also achieve an increase in engine power, but remember that any modification to the engine remains "illegal" and a modified car cannot be driven on the road. Replacing it is not particularly complicated and can be done alone. The manifold is connected to the exhaust via some clamps and bolts that need to be removed to slide out the exhaust. Once the bolts at the inlet of the manifold pipe are also unscrewed, you can remove the manifold along with the relevant gaskets.
