Well, it finally broke. Several years ago it cracked at the front elbow - like they all do - and I stopped drilled and brazed it. Lasted 4 years....but finally cracked almost all the way around the elbow. Since I know the manifold won't come off cleanly, and will likely shatter into pieces, here's my question.
Is there any way to weld/braze this back together in place? Or maybe weld/braze a patch like a band of exhaust tubing around the crack?
Probably not, but I'm looking for some creative ideas to try before buying a whole new manifold.
Thanks,
Paul
