most manifold problems are caused by gasket/seal failure rather than the manifold itself - the aircraft manifold is subject to higher tempertures and preasures than a car engine and that is often compounded by flying at high altitude a common reason for manifold failure is called "bootstrapping" which is a condition caused by low rpm at high altitude causing manifold preasure to drop so low the wastegate closes - it can easily be corrected by increasing rpm also the exhaust gas preasure is often used to help turn a turbocharger turbine and if the preasure is allowed to drop to low the trubocharger will no longer work efficiently and engine will lose power these are reasons why rpms/manifold preasure should not drop to low in an aircraft in cruise flight

How do you install an exhaust manifold on a Renault?

The exhaust manifold needs to have a gasket in place to help seal the juncture between the manifold and the engine. After the gasket and gasket sealer are in place, tighten the bolts for the exhaust manifold. The exhaust pipe can then be replaced on the new exhaust manifold.


Where is an O2 sensor?

Oxygen sensors are mounted on/in the exhaust manifold or the headpipe just AFTER the exhaust manifold. There shouldn't be any other electrical connections into the exhaust system in that area so that narrows it down for you. Some vehicles have a SECOND oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter, but those seldom fail.
