corradophil 3 Posted July 24, 2013 Gasket, id say gsf or euro car parts. Are you sure the crack is a problem, I think mine has some small hairline cracks, but it didn't leak. Mine has had some welding done about 7 years ago because I gas flowed it. If you are interested I could meet you at lakeside on Saturday. Do you want me to post up some photos. The reason its for sale is because I now gave a tubular manifold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ross k 10 Posted July 25, 2013 some pictures would be good. I think my cracks leaking because if you turn the blowers on it smells a bit fumey also its white around the crack thanks ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted July 25, 2013 Hi Ross, I'm trying to avoid commenting on your leaking crack :) I had a good look at my manifold this morning, and I don't think it will be of interest to you. For speed your best bet may be to find a local specialist welder to repair yours. Welding cast items such as this apparently requires heating of the part to a very high temperature before welding, to reduce localised expansion, stresses and cracks. As you can see, mine has cracks also... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
