Im replacing the gaskets on the manifolds for the risers.... and a few small pieces fell into the exhaust manifold. How should I get these pieces out or should I worry about it? Will they just blow out the exhaust when running it?
Some or most went into the water jacket... which i know will just blow out... very small pieces. And for the manifold... like 2 small pieces fell into the manifold portion.
Put it on the muffs and fire it up BEFORE putting riser on ????????? Ummmm.......... Don't think that is a good idea, with the water coming out the water jacket of the manifold and flowing into the open manifiold... If you do decide to run it w/o the risers, run it for a second without the muffs, or disconnect the discharge hose from the raw water pump and dump into bilges, so pump won't be compromised.
I would just put it all back together and run it normally. That should blow everything out, especially on initial blast when it starts.
