Bill mentioned cracked headers: "Joe's comments started me on something of a tangent to this thread. I was wondering what bearing exhaust wraps and coatings might have on the cracking which is a perceived problem with stainless manifolds. Has anyone done any kind of study on this?"
Bill My Triumphtune mild steel headers cracked without any wrap or coatings. I think that the movement of the engine on the mounts and the movement of the exhaust system make cracking almost inevitable. Mine lasted around 50,000 miles and were easily fixed by an exhaust shop for $10. I may end up using header wrap as I think the risk of corrision is small here in Texas, and I am still thinking that my misfire might be heat related. Maybe I should find some heat shields for the carbs. I knew I shouldn't have thrown them out !! Neil __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
