I have a small hairline crack between the collectors I believe, what is the best way to have the fixed so it will be reliable, did a search could not finda anything. this is a drag gen III cast manifold.

 

i have a cracked rev-hard manifold.. id imagine the materials are similar.. ive asked a few places if they could weld it and they say the material is so inconsistant that it would crack all the way through if they tried to weld a small section

 

JB weld??

 

can't use jb weld, the manifold gets too hot for the stuff...

 

There is an epoxy made by Permatex, I think, that is for cracked manifolds...I've heard that it doesn't last forever, and it might be shorter on a high-temp turbo...there might be something, though.

 

best bet might be to replace it.

 

I had a huge crack down the middle of my cast iron rev-hard manifold back in the day. I just drilled the crack out clean so it cant spread more and welded inside it. Its not to hard, just gotta take it to a performance shop that welds......Mike

 

send ben at importparts and email. I believe there is a lifetime waranty against cracks.

 

I remember reading a reply from ben that if you crack one he will replace it for free.

 

Yep, Ben at Import Parts offers lifetime warranty on DRAG manifolds....

 

Only if you bought it from Ben...

btw, were u using a flex pipe?

 

Man you can't beat that. Who would upfront offer to replace a cracked turbo manifold. I'm glad I bought from Ben!
