Exhaust Manifold Problems

[Peter Berrevoets]

After suffering with a very loud exhaust leak that just refused to go away,
and studs that refused to stay tight, I finally took the thing apart and
discovered that my EM has;

i) a lousy weld job that is/was leaking and has since recracked - (I'll be
happy to advise any Toronto area listers as to who the monkey-lad was that
did this job)
ii) a big crack in the collector area that extends into and through one of
the webs and out the back
iii) another crack between #3 and #4
iv) a broken turbo mounting stud that snapped off as I was removing it -
bugger! The other three spun off super easy after cracking the initial
torqueing

Looks like I have to find another manifold in a hurry.

Does anyone in the Toronto area have a used EM in decent shape for sale?
A small crack is OK, I will weld it up (using a different individual of
talent).

If one is available please e-mail me direct, with the current @home problems
possibly causing havoc with e-mail please use mailto:peter at nerdsonsite.com

TIA!
