When you first arrive in Tuchanka, visit the mechanic working on the giant truck [001] . The mechanic needs a combustion manifold to make the necessary repairs to the truck.
He could make a new one, but that would take days. If you offer to find one for him, the mechanic tells you that you might find one outside of the city.
The combustion manifold the mechanic needs is found during Mordin’s loyalty mission, Old Blood.

During the loyalty mission, before entering the hospital swipe the combustion manifold from the overturned truck [002] .

Killing Pyjaks
Experience Available: 40
Availability > Immediately Entities Encountered > Assignment Started By:
- Ratch
Spoils of War > Ratch’s Wares > Discount Spoils of War > Ratch’s Wares > Pyjak Meat
[001]
[002]
Shopkeeper Ratch is willing to offer you a discount to his kiosk [001] , but only if you help with the local pyjak problem.
The vermin are getting into the food stocks on Tuchanka. Use the shooting range next to the chief scout, which is only accessible once you’ve spoken to Ratch about the vermin.
Step up to the left gun battery. This begins the game [002] .
There are three waves of pyjaks. You must shoot all of the pyjaks in each wave without running out of ammunition, which is noted on the right side of the screen.
There is a catch to this range, though. There are two guns, one mounted on each side of the range. They alternate.
The pyjaks run through a field of old tires, and if you try to blast a pyjak with a gun on the opposite side of the range, you risk hitting only tires.
Try to get in a rhythm with the pyjaks. Aim ahead of the pyjaks so the shot lands right on top of the pyjak as it runs, although there is a blast radius that allows a little wiggle room.
Don’t let them get too far down the field by waiting for them to enter the clearings among the tires or else they may scurry away.
If you complete all the waves of pyjak shooting, Ratch gives you a discount at his shop. Killing pyjaks adds pyjak meat to the kiosk inventory.
Feed it to Ratch’s varren, Urz, to get a loyal friend. Urz can then be taken to the varren fighting pit, and bet on to win far more credits than the usual choices.
Missing Scout (Mordin: Old Blood)
Experience Available: 40
Availability > During Mordin: Old Blood †
Entities Encountered > Assignment Started By:
- Chief Scout
[001]
[002]
In order to head out to the Clan Weyrloc base, you must talk to the chief scout for clan Urdnot, who is next to the pyjak shooting range [001] .
The chief scout mentions that he recently sent a scout out to Weyrloc territory to investigate the news of a salarian scientist in the clan’s custody. However, that scout has since gone missing.
Follow the Old Blood walkthrough to locate the missing scout. The scout sits in a cell, alone and dejected [002] .
Get that krogan off his feet through charm or intimidation. Lying to the krogan fails this assignment. Convince him to go back to the city, which takes a little tough love.
The missing scout roars to life and escapes the Weyrloc base, completing the assignment.
