I have a 98 accord 4-cyl. The bracket that supports the lower exhaust manifold has broken off. It was attached to the engine block, but now gone. Engine block ok, but will this be ok to drive without this bracket for support? All comments appreciated.

 

i would call up ed voyles honda on cobb pakway and windy hill rd. and order one. it should be ok to drive without it for a little while. just don't do any hard driving because the stress of the motor tilting back could put stress on the studs where the manifold bolts to the head.
btw im in powder springs right down the east west connector from you. i would be more than happy to install it if you don't want to.

 

the problem is that it broke off a piece of the motor where it attaches itself on the block! There is no way to replace it!

 

oh dang, hmmm maybe try tapping the hole with some new threads.

 

u got any pics???...how did a piece of the block (solid iron??) break off??????
