I jb welded a crack on one of those. That shit stinks when on fire.

I told you jb welding your crack won't make it smaller

They're not threaded to begin with. I made my own studs out of some 5/16 threaded rod with a tack welded nut on the bottom.

So a bolt....?

Well yeah. It's just that there isn't enough space to get a bolt in either turbo or mani side so that's the only way to do it.

Not sure if they make it anymore, but there's a product by POR called fire seal 2000. Sealed two cracked Honda manifolds and each held up for 3 years after. Small cracks. Good for 2000 degrees F

Not very often, not many ME's either. Since our business is making and selling metals, most of our engineers are Materials Engineers or Metallurgical Engineers.

:rofl:

Thanks guys, for making such an entertaining thread!

Did you just use standard all thread rod from home Depot?
The fastener place around hear had grade 8 all thread rod. I would upgrade to that atleaet.
2 feet was like 6 dollars.
I would guess standard all thread would break quick.
It might be a race between the manifold and the welded bolts thou.
U might keep a close eye on ebay and classifieds for better manifold.

I can get wholesale from grainger if I just wait for someone to place an order and sneak something in. The stuff I used was grade 8 from grainger.

Inspirational end goal for the tranny?

Checking in, how'd I miss this thread so faar?

That's cool, I'll show her. I'm not sure how far she's planning to go with it

I was curious as to where your presence was on this thread, i figured you'd be all over this.

Hopefully she'll do ALLOFIT

What kind of cage did you go with?
I like the graphics what did she use for black? Think it will hold up? You could clear coat it.

Thread did not deliver. I am disappoint.

I don't have a cage yet. Going to be making one but it's probably the last thing that will happen. It's sharpie and I'll probably clear coat it but it's not a worry right now

At this point I am starting with wish I had gotten some sort of kit. Not because of the poor quality but because of missing parts. Having to make 4 trips to the hardware store for 5$ parts is pretty irritating. They didn't give me a drain flange so I welded one up from flat stock and pipe. Used a piece of the oem exhaust header gasket as a gasket. Also made the wg bracket yesterday which took way longer than it should have.
