Now I've done it!

 

[Mad1stGen]

What do you think you DID though, to cause this to happen ?

 

[driller]

I figure it had something to do with a 1.768 sixty foot launch?

Thought I heard it on the way home that day and a couple days later it was definitely an exhaust manifold gasket leak in my mind. But the ching ching sound had me wondering.

Too much torque. LOL

 

[mlschultz]

Yikes! Hopefully, you can weld it up and go racing JP! Were they jet hot coated? I have jet hot coated kooks, and they seem to be holding up good so far.

It looks like it will weld up as long as it's not too bent.

You might have more clearance now.

 

[steve]

Get some foil tape to fix that right up

 

[driller]

Yes they were Jet coated and the shop will weld it up. I don't have the time to send it off to Kooks for warranty coverage with SSHS10 coming up. The shop owner where it's at is one of the best welders I've seen, so I have confidence in his work.

You sure it wasn't a "cha-ching"? $$$$$

Then you haven't seen me weld 2 aircraft pistons together lol jk Thats what I did to learn, and also I ran lines on the MIG.

Lol chaching! I was reading another post about something to do with Duct tape and WD 40??

Lol chaching!

Yah, just under $500!

Really, to have someone weld it? I Immediately noticed it was already "out" in the picture, I'm assuming you pulled it.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same.

Ummm, no, I took it to a shop to be done. I originally figured it to be the exhaust manifold gaskets.

If I would've pulled it, I would've took it up to work and had our lead welder fixed it. No lift + no time = less money.

JP, did you finally decide to use OEM gaskets ? We have zero issues with those here.

That $500 would go nice towards the lift

 

[J]

Aww the Master had to take his car to a shop, that's crappy JP.

OEM gaskets were used on the head swap.
