★ This manifold is supplied unpainted in raw cast iron. After use, rust will appear — this is normal for cast iron. For protection against rust, the manifold may be treated with very high-temperature paint (suitable for wood-burning stoves or barbecues).
Application
Suitable for Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), Hotchkiss M201 (1952-1966), Willys CJ-3A (1949-1953) and M38 (1950-1952) — all vehicles with the Willys 134ci L-head Go Devil engine. Fits both early chain-driven and late gear-driven L-134 variants.
Installation notes
Fit the manifold with new gaskets. Ensure correct heat riser assembly: turn the flap shaft fully clockwise, fit the bi-metallic spring so the outer end rests on the stop. The counterweight keeps the spring against the stop. Use anti-seize on fasteners. Check torque settings after initial heat cycles.
Compatibility
NOT suitable for F-head engines (M38A1, CJ-3B, late CJ-5) — these require a different manifold without heat riser. Verify whether your engine is an L-134 (flathead, valves in block) or F-134 (overhead intake valves). L-head intake and exhaust manifolds form one integrated assembly; F-head has separate manifolds.
Historical context
The heat riser mechanism was standard on all L-134 Go Devil engines. The bi-metallic spring closes the valve when the engine is cold, directing exhaust gases along the intake riser to help vaporise fuel. As the engine warms up, the spring automatically opens the valve.
