RE: [Chrysler300] Choke/Manifold Leak

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

I had this problem back in the '80s with my G.  I tried different sealants
but nothing held.  Finally I removed the rams and brought them to a welding
specialist.  He had them for about a month and during that time he welded
the aluminum around the wells and built them up.  Once they were built up,
he machined them flat and smooth.  Mine had deteriorated to the point where
the walls were thin and they kind of blew out at the top and I had the
exhaust leak you described.

Having said all that, I discovered a product a few years back that just may
work for this application, and you don't need to remove the rams.  It's
called Pyro-Putty, and it would be worth a try.  Here's the link:

Check it out, it can be used on cast aluminum and iron.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Choke/Manifold Leak


I replaced the choke well cups and gaskets on my "F" with new parts,
after a thorough cleaning of the manifold mounting surface. Exhaust
gases are leaking between the cup and manifold on both sides, midway
between the mounting bolts. The noise and "soot" generated by the
leaks are irritating.

Has anyone out there experienced this problem, and if so -- how was it
corrected (if it was)?

Thanks for any help.
