can I use rvt to fix a small crack on my exhaust manifold for a tempory fix until I can get it welded

 

the reason I ask is its a little exhaust leak on one of the welds, and I was thinking of putting some rvt on it and throwing some header paint on that to make it look ok for now

 

no will not work.

 

What abot that mirical epoxy that summit sells? Its rated to 1350 degrees

 

yuh it wont melt but probably blow off just go it fixed. or pm me and i can get you a manifold for cheap

 

just let it leak until you get it welded, it's no biggy unless your manifold is like in half. haha

there isn't much that can withstand that pressure and heat.

 

I don't about the cosmetic effect of the crack, I just don't want it to get worse, so does anyone know of a temp fix to a small crack?

 

Hot glue or duct tape.

 

go to a local muffler shop....have them mig weld the leak. Just prep the spot a little before they weld it...

Yes its a ghetto temp fix. But prepping it will help it last that much longer.

I was thinking superglue would be better, atleast then I could catch a buzz from the fumes, j/k

that is a link to that epoxy I was talking about, tell me what everone thinks as being a possible fix

 

I wonder if JB Weld would be able to withstand the heat? That stuff works pretty well on a variety of applications.

 

JB weld is only like 400 degrees. That link up there might work but I would still not want to trust it. I think it should really be able to withstand 2000+ degrees in order to work on a turbo manifold. Now a little exhaust leak on your s-pipe could probably be fixed by the about link if prepped properly.

 

Nope it would just crack from the heat ^^

I tried using it, when I had a bad exhaust manifold/turbo gasket.

It just made for a messy engine bay, lol.

Just take it to an exhaust shop and get it fixed.

 

Well... according to my egt gauge, when i'm boosting i'm at about 1200 degrees (F).

If memory serves me right.

=)

 

order some of billy mays mighty putty! that stuff can do anything!

 

if u wanna pay shipping id fix it for free.

 

Does anyone know of any epoxys good to 2000 degrees?
