Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Technician A is right because some manufacturers do recommend replacing the intake manifold after a catastrophic engine failure to ensure no hidden damage compromises the new engine. Technician B is correct because during such a failure, metal parts can indeed be forced into the intake manifold's runners, and these parts may not be completely removed even after thorough cleaning, posing a risk to the new engine.
