Step 44 — Check for Leaks and Rattles
Start the vehicle to check for leaksor rattles. If none, then take a spinaround the block for furtherverification. If you do find a leak orrattle, please inspect the exhaustfurther
A leak could be caused by aloose flange bolt, improperly usedgasket, or if debris is stuckbetween the gasket and flange
A rattle could be caused bymisaligned pipe or a rubberhanger being orientatedincorrectly
