Best Answer

The air/gas mixture from the carb is drawn into the cylinder through the Inlet manifold. The inlet manifold is designed so that there is sufficient volume of air/gas to meet the engine needs at all revs. Each branch is designed to create minimum air turbulence thus allowing the intake mixture to be sufficiently abundant at high revs to prevent power tail off. The exhaust gasses are forced through the Exhaust manifold to the exhaust pipe. The exhaust manifold and exhaust system are designed to over handle the volume of exhaust gasses so that there is not a loss of power at high revs. Exhaust manifolds, helped by the cylinder firing order, have even heat dissipation to prevent cracking.

Can a crack in a manifold cause an oil leak?

The answer is yes. A crack in a manifold is much worse than just the oil leak. Manifold cracks are generally caused by severe overheating or improper assembly of parts. A crack in a manifold can cause oil to leak but the oil leak is inconsequential as the crack renders the engine unusable safely, without replacing the manifold. Running an engine with a cracked manifold is very bad for the rest of the engine and your own safety.

Do you have to take off the valve cover to replace the exhaust manifold?

I've done this. No. Remove the air breather assembly to gain access to exhaust manifold. Disconnect O2 sensor that runs through heat shield. Remove heat shield by removing 5 nuts. Disconnect catalytic converter from manifold by removing five nuts. Remove the head to manifold nuts. Remove manifold. With the right tools and a bit of luck 1 hour.
