Anybody?

My car had welded AAN manifold, done around 5 years ago and welded cold. Some say it should have been cracked a long time ago, but when i removed it this spring the welds were still nice and solid. According to the welder the process took around a week, making sure to keep the manifold as cool as possible, he just welded a spot when he had time between other tasks.

Interesting, what sort of weld did he use, MIG, TIG, Arc or Gas?

I think he used MIG, but i could be that he just used electrode.

I don't fancy playing on an RS2 one to be honest, I'd rather practice on an S2 manifold, not quite as valuable if does not work!!

True, but this one will stay in the shed for ever, don't reckon I'll ever fit it to anything in its current state.

If you want to have a go after practicing on an S2 one, you're welcome to it
