- After getting a lot of suggestions from the list on how to fix the crack in my manifold, I'm going to try MarinTex, a super strong epoxy that says that it will withstand engine temperatures. Now the

- Hi John, Withstanding engine heat is quite different than withstanding exhaust temps. Am I missing something here? Why not just replace the manifold if this is truly cracked? Paul PAsgeirsson@juno.co

- Hi John, I think that you will be a lot better off replacing it if it is cracked, than trying to repair it. You said you couldn't find the crack, but someone else saw it. Make sure it is a crack and

- John, you have a 74, right? It only requires the removal of the exhaust pipe and the carbs to replace the exhaust manifold. I have an extra manifold that needs a broken stud replaced or you can drill

- I feel for you as far as $$ goes... but an exhaust manifold expands and contracts a great deal. You may be able to fix the crack this week but will your fix stay on next? I'd start looking for a goo

- Wouldn't it be easiest to just get a used manifold and swap it for yours? I would think that they would be quite inexpensive and relatively straightforward to remove and reinstall. Just a thought. J
