boston Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have a stock turbo manifold, it has 2 cracks I wonder if I can weld it, will it work? or will it not help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadrab Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Welding cast iron is not something I'd want to mess with - and I can weld. There are specific techniques involved that are not necessary on other types of metals. There was a crack in the manifold on my engine that had been there since I bought it. I'd tried to repair it with a mixture of some sort. It held for a while, but eventually vaporized. When the head had to be replaced recently, I folded up and bought a new manifold from http://www.enginemachineservice.com/conquest.html . It was money well-spent as the manifold came with all new Mitsu. gaskets as well as studs and nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPTIMUSPRIME Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 hhhmmm 2 cracks..... try to find a used one or a new one but, if you want to fixed it right away then just take it to a machine shop and should be able to weld it but, will just hold temporarely.Maybe a month or maybe a couple months while you save enough to buy a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
