I took the heat shield off & found the manifold cracked
Sucks! I did a search & I guess it's a common problem. Anyone recommend a good welder that's done these before in the Sacramento - Roseville/Rocklin area???

 

Is it the B-pipe that is craked or the "headers" thats craked?
you can do a few things
1. Just get a new manifold
2. Hit up Pick N Pull off sunrise or stockton..
3. head over to Muffler tech and Brake 6160 florin road. 916-421-0399

They might be able to weld you up!

 

damn that sucks.. it happened to me a couple years back and not many people weld cast iron.. i ended up finding a used one at venus.. bit pricey cause of the cat being connected to it..

Venus Auto Parts

 

How much did u pay for the used one? Did they have it on the shelf or did u have to pull it yourself?

 

There's a recall on it I believe. Honda will replace it if your car has under 150,000 miles. That's what happened a few years back on my 98 DX....doesn't hurt trying.

 

i paid 200 for it.. and it was already pulled.. the only thing is that it was a jdm one so it didnt have a bung for the second O2. so had to get it drilled and welded a bung on..
