ok well i picked up a manifold, i didnt even notice it at first and the seller never mentioned it, but 2 of the holes on the flange going to the head are cracked ☹ im sure this doesnt affect performance and it doesnt really affect stability at all, but is there any way to fix this? i want to get this done before i sell it can you tig on washers or something lol? or maybe a thiner flange tigged on to the existing one? and can anyone on here do this? i’ll post up pictures tomorrow TURBOCIV WHERE ARE YOU!!! ---

Is it cast or a tubular job. If it’s fabricated (like a tubular manifold, stainless or whatever), fggtciv can fix it for you. If it’s cast, he doesn’t know how to do it properly. Sry for being a dick, but I’m a dick. ---

Sometimes companies put those slits there on purpose to limit distortion/warpping. It may be intentional. Any idiot can fix that. It’s a mild steel flange, It wpuke take 2mins to patch that up. ---

Yeah i would actually cut those into the manifolds i had built. You get better sealing by allowing the face of the manifold to flex a little. ---
