rosengrant826 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 i looked at this header while it was on ebay, if you read the description of it. He specified that the blem was the welds cracking and that the stud holes needed to be oblonged a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 THIS MANIFOLD HAS FOLLOWING BLEMISHES 1. RUNNERS(WHERE SMALL RUNNERS ARE WELDED TOGETHER) CRACK EASILY DUE TO WEAK WELDS(CAN BE FIXED BY ADDING EXTRA WELDS AROUND THE WEAK ORIGINAL WELDS AND ADDTIONS OF EXTRA BRACKETS) 2. THREE OR FOUR STUD HOLES ON THE HEAD FLANGE DO NOT MATCH PERFECTLY AND NEED TO BE REDRILLED doesnt sound like he is trying to screw anyone to me..

Replaced all of the stainless steel 2. Re-weld some original brackets3. Fab a few more new brackets/Weld 4. Work out a few fitment issues/Weld5. Oblong out a few(3 or 4, and so on) stud holes.6. Talk to a few metal fab guys, here or there. After that, maybe, you would be home free...like a bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody1 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I had a little free time with which I've used to look up the definition of "blemish". My recent research, and past experience, indicates the word "blemish" may not be the most accurate word available to describe this header. Please bear in mind that I have exercised some judgement in reaching this opinion. Some people may say "blemish", while others may say "Scrap", or "Trash", or "Paper Weight", or "Anchor", or .....
