Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

COSMO · 03-21-2014, 06:55 AM

What I'm going to do is have them x-rayed to see if the crack is superficial or not and then have then welded. Just from looking at them it seems the cracks are superficial because you can't see any light through the inside. Understand people this process of making entirely new manifolds to replace the gtm one's will take a lot of time and r&d to do it right and I don't have that amount of time to again wait to get my car up and going again.

Yeah, if there's any way to patch up what you've got and get back on the road you need to do it. Another few months without boost and we're going to have to put you on suicide watch.

Get the car back on the road and we'll figure out who wants to go into business making replacement manifolds later.
