Fj60 exhaust help (2 Viewers)

[pavementfan60]

Hey guys I just took this part out from under the hood anyone know what this is and how to go about fixing it. I believe it’s part of exhaust manifold; the previous owner had wrapped it in this kind of metal cloth type material which looks like carpet (see pic) The fj60 will start and drive but makes this horrible squeal whine noise. Here are pictures from under. I believe the exhaust melted some lines don’t know where they go to. Don’t have info from previous owner

That is the heat riser duct; provides warmer- ish air to bottom of air filter box.

Can we make a exhaust/intake manifold sticky?

Hi everyone, The exhaust manifold is leaking on my 87 fj-60 and it needs to be resealed/repaired. I have searched many of the threads here and there seems to be conflicting ideas as to how to fix it. So can we make the ultimate exhaust/intake manifold thread (sticky) where every idea is...

That 'Cloth' is factory and it's asbestos, though the one on your truck is from a very early 2F

If you're in Kalifornia, you will need it for visual smog inspection or you will fail. Same for the heat riser tube that goes up to the Air Cleaner intake.

A generic heat riser tube wired to the exhaust manifold will pass for visual inspection, too, so that 'Insulator' isn't strictly necessary, but the tube is.

You can probably find a replacement in the Classifieds or place a Wanted ad. Most are very rusty, so good hunting.

If Hose “A” is connected to the bottom of valve “B”, (High Altitude Compensation Valve) that hose end isn’t supposed to attach to anything. It just lies along the fender. It’s a breather hose for the valve (if it’s connected to it).

Is it okay to just leave it off? I’ve read threads that say they just found it fell off on the ground and nothing happened

Leave what off?
If you’re talking about that hose and it’s connected to the bottom of the HAC valve, yes it can dangle downwards. There’s a plastic loop snapped into the fender to hold it. If that’s gone, use a zip tie.

I’m talking about the 90 degree pipe with asbestos Fiberglas cloth wrapping going into the hot air intake

Can be left off without drivability issues except for possible cold-weather starts being a little rough, until the engine warms.

But as I said, could pose smog-test issues if you're subject to them.
