Son bitch cracked again, inside the collector's crotch where the repair weld did'nt reach.
I had my cracked manifold MIG welded during my motor swap. Trying to save money, BAD IDEA. Better to go for broke, fix the heap, and get some sleep.
Don't know what I'll buy to replace it. Seems like every single replacement cracks except the cast iron split manifolds, and they wont fit the head's ports.
-If you ever swore they can't be welded, you were right. It lasted 2 months.The new welds create even more stress on that damn collector joint. Mine sounds like a "chuff" at idle and "tick" under load, and I sound like Yosemite Sam when I hear it.
