Cracked Manifold

Forum: 

Hi there,

the manifold on my 1998 avanzato TR-xx R4 (JB-JL engine) has recently developed a crack. Im a bit unsure as to what to do about it now. Is it worth trying to get it welded by a specialist or is it prone to re-cracking?

The other option I have is to get another one fabricated by a company who makes them. Does anyone have any experience of this for any vehicle and is it expensive?

My last option would be to get a second hand one but i doubt ill be able to source one anywhere unless anyone has any ideas?

any response would be greatly appreciated,

Gary

Hi Gary nice to know somebody else has had this problem,Mine did the same cracked in 4 places,I took the manifold off and had it specialist welded.Didnt think it would last but tried it,as a new one from the dealers is 340 + vat.Has been done now for over 3 years and still holding up.Hope this helps Mick49
