Do I have cracked exhaust manifolds?

[dbbd1]

I would appreciate it if someone else would go out and check their 5.3 exhaust manifolds. On both sides, I have cracks or slits in the top part, I didn't check the underside. On both sides, the most forward and the most rearward bolt holes are solid. The other 3, in between each cylinder, on each side have a crack or factory slit going upwards from the bolts. The gaps are not consistent in size and, from just glancing at them, are not exactly regular.


Thanks.

I can get pics if needed but it's pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks.

Pics of yours?

Will be easier to compare and then we can not answer you and take care if ours that may or may not be cracked....

I forgot, noticed it months ago on the yuk, mine has it too so no sweat bud.

Yep. The cracks keep them from cracking while expanding and contracting.
