Oil residue on inlet manifold
Discussion
The right-hand inlet manifold of my 94 xj12 seems to have a lot of oil residue on it.
Can anyone tell me where I should start looking?
Also do you think this level of impact damage will prevent the gasket from forming a good deal? I can only assume the ass hat that did other 'repairs' did it trying to fix the emission issues I am now looking at.

Are you saying that the PCV system does not feed into the intake side that is dirty?
Correct, the pcv feeds the left bank. It was dirty but not as much as the right. It has been a while since I stripped down the left bank so maybe it was worse than I remember. I guess the other option is that more collected in the right manifold as it is the 'end if the line' for balanced air between the 2 sides. The right side did have a slightly collapsing airbox intake pipe so pressure from the filtered air could have been higher in the left side forcing more oily air to the right bank.GreenV8S said:
I guess that's possible.
Regarding the gasket surface, when you ding a surface like that it usually leaves a raised area around the dent. You will need to stone off any raised areas or burrs for the two surfaces to mate properly. The dent itself won't be a problem.
Thanks, I will clean it up as well as I can. Regarding the gasket surface, when you ding a surface like that it usually leaves a raised area around the dent. You will need to stone off any raised areas or burrs for the two surfaces to mate properly. The dent itself won't be a problem.
