182 exhaust manifold.

[StrongboW]

Okay so I've been getting the timing belt and dephaser done on my 182, and noticed that the manifold flange where the cat gets bolted on has one side Spring and bolt missing, looks like the hole is none existing. (Corroded) I guess the only fix is to replace the
Manifold, what's my best options for that?

Do you have a picture ? The fitting kit (springs etc) actually come with a cup which slips into the manifold - but it often looks part of the manifold due to rust.

Yeah so where the mani joins the cat the hole is corroded all the way through on the top side on your photo meaning there is nothing to clamp together I don't have a photo right now but I can in a few hours.

Hmm if the lug has completely snapped off the only option for repair would be welding I imagine. May be easier then removing the manifold, dropping subframe etc

I guess this does not happen often! Does the subframe need to be completely removed?

You just need to drop the subframe down a bit, there was a 182 manifold fitting guide in the guide section with pictures which may be helpful.

Thanks mate. Any advice on a manifold?

Nothing better than a standard 182 manifold.
