What is in those exhaust manifold ?

Got up this morning at a brisk 10 AM, means I work the night shift. Grabbed the box that was delivered on Wednesday and thought let’s work on the manifolds for the Cat 22 today. Normally my wife has my free Saturdays planned out but she is at school today getting refreshed so I am my own boss today.
Knowing that these brand new manifolds some 83 years ago would come apart in no time it would leave me time to still fix the bathroom sink. Well some five hours later it has been all taken apart. Now I can repair the heat box & reassemble. Just thought I would share some pictures of the material that hides in our manifolds so if you find a machine that has been hiding in a brush pile & go to start it think about cleaning the manifold. It might surprise you how much material is hiding.

Nice work, that is a lot of crud in there!

Yuck!! What kind of shyster would sell you junk like that??? Lol!!

a lot better than the underwear I found in the Intake of my D2.....LMAO

Bruce, you're slipping. Mouse crud is so yesterday's new - clearly, underwear is the manifold stuffing du jour!

Story of my life!!!
