Hey Guys,
My slight water jacket leak turned into a gusher this summer. I've got it patched with some epoxy for now, but don't like running like this. I'm planning to replace both manifolds this spring. Has anybody here done this already? Any advise? Any recommendations for other jobs to tackle while I've got them off?
I don't want to go down the road of trying to grind out the crack and weld it closed. Another problem I've noticed is a significant amount of loose corrosion product inside the manifold when I remove the drain plugs. This causes me concern for wall thickness between the exhaust & water jacket sides.
For anybody that's curious, my '92 Comp has only operated in fresh water.
Thanks,
-Adam
