Yo what the fuck is that crack?

>>28543666 (OP)
oh boy your exhaust manifold is cracked
the danger to manifold has been successfully applied. time to go to a junkyard and hunt for a replacement

>>28543676
Whyd some bitch tell me it's no big deal before.

>>28543666 (OP)
lol nice digits satan

thats your exhuast manifold, and that thing with the wire is one of your o2 sensors. When you run the car it might have a check engine light on because the computer can tell theres an exhaust leak. the car may run louder because, theres an exhuast leak. nothing is gonna blow up. it doesnt effect driveability or anything at all. But get it replaced eventually, same with that sensor if its gone bad, that way you can get those codes off the computer. If something actually bad happens to your car, you want that check engine light to flip on. If it's always on because of little shit like this, you wont know when you start throwing a cam position code because your timing chains stretched or some shit down the road

>>28543688
>some bitch
What like a woman?
Hmm.

>>28543701
Alright thank you. Yes thats shit on but I've had the light on for years cuz I'm a retard

>>28543676
Bitch, just weld it up. Why go buy a new manifold if you don't have to? You do know how to weld, right?

>>28543666 (OP)
Put a leaf over it and JB weld.

>>28543666 (OP)
HARK

>>28543726
If you gotta take it off to weld is it worth it?
>>28543738
Really?

>>28543726
i don't have a welder :(
and at that point if there was a yard near me why not just find a manifold there?

>>28543726
also who goes to a junkyard to buy new parts???

>>28543726
You don’t know how to weld if you think you can weld cast iron. Maybe a welder can but not you.

>>28543749
>If you gotta take it off to weld is it worth it?
You'd have to take it off to put another one on anyways. AND you'd have to take the other one off at the junkyard. You're actually taking fewer manifolds off by repairing it.

Welder here.
"Cast iron" manifolds havent been a standard alloy since about 1950.
Manufacturers have been playing with formulas to get something that doesnt crack with heat cycles (OP is a fail).
GM had some pretty bad years, so did Ford.
>surprisingly Chrysler didn't have as many issues- ill bet you'll never see that in print again.
If you try to weld that with your harbor freight setup it will zipper 5 minutes after you get it up to operating temp.

For standard cast iron you need an oven to pre-heat and for a cool down cycle aftwr its welded.

For a manifold you need compatible filler for that particular manifold and the only way you know which it is is if you've done it successfully in the past...

Buy a manifold off ebay.
Nigger.

>>28543776
so basically >>28543726 is a benchrider

>>28543776
So don't jb weld eh

>>28543865
>t. cannot into reading

>>28543755
Me, I got a replacement harmonic balancer, window motor, rear hatch trim parts, spare brake caliper, probably xome other shit I'm forgetting

>>28543666 (OP)
Bro your valve cover is pissing

>>28543895
i mean brand spanking new parts...i don't go to a junkyard looking for a new manifold that still has the part number sticker on it for example

>>28543907
What gave you the impression that anyone was suggesting such a thing in this thread?

>>28543926
>>28543726

>>28543865
JB welder here.
Goop it up and/or exhaust wrap if your really want

>>28543676
There will be no non-cracked manifolds in junkyards because they *all* cracked.
>been there, done that

>>28543666 (OP)
amazon header + EX cat swap. Get the right sensors too. Or make a custom cat pipe using a maganflow highflow 2.5 inch cat. The OEM shit, even magnaflow, is double walled and actually 1.75 inch ID.

Ironically JB weld would have a higher success rate.

There was a cool story about the guy who invented JB weld.
He went to Russia and met with some industrial CEOs. He took them to a quarry where there was a caterpillar that had a crack in the block at an oil passage and was just spewing out pressurized oil.
He cleaned and prepped the crack, applied the JB weld and invited them back the next day.
They fired up the cat and ran it for a couple hours with zero issues.
At that moment he became a God to russians.

Year make model

tube header or scrap it
