8V92 cracked exhaust manifold

Dan:

Not familiar with your bird, but I recently discovered the pipe from
the turbo to the exhaust had a bad gash. I don't know how it happened,
but it was spreading about 1500 degrees into my engine compartment.
I've have it replaced and my bird is still in the shop for other
issues, so I don't know yet what it cost. If that is what is cracked
on yours, I would get it replaced soon because it could present a fire
hazard. BTW, I was told a good investment would be a infrared
thermometer would be a good investment to check heat in your rad,
tires, genny, engine compartment, etc. I got one and that's how I
discovered the excess heat and the cracked pipe.
