[quote="finnie3d"]I had a welding shop "nickel rod" the crack in the spare manifold I got from the yard - supposedly filling the crack and eliminating the leak... I haven't installed it to test it yet... I'll take pics b4 I put it on in the morning and let you know how well the fix worked. It's a temporary fix because of course when I rebuild the motor, I want performance exhaust to go with it, but I'm hoping it will eliminate this "card in the bicycle spokes" ticking I get while driving now...quote]


You might want to take over to the local machine shop and have the mating surface planed just a little to make sure it's flat. If it's warped then it might crack again. Just an idea.
