You have all probably seen my posts looking for a new manifold, until my Uncle mentioned that cast iron manifolds can be brazed or welded to repair them.
Now I haven't taken mine off yet, but there is a sure fire crack/leak. I plan on taking it in a couple weeks and seeing if there are missing bolts, studs, gaskets etc (also gonna do the turbo gaskets at the same time) but I was wondering if anyone has any experience welding or brazing a 13BT manifold?
If so, how did you do it? I would way rather pay $100 or so to fix it rather than the $400-550 for a new one. I've found a direct supplier, but it will be 3-6 months delivery - still weighing out that option.
