Re: New HMT manifold
damn dude run a bead instead of overlapping tacks it's not like anyone is going to be fooled into thinking that was tig welded. Overlapping tacks leak and break a lot. every one of those has a carbon deposit right deadcenter. Be gangsta and just run a shitty looking bead if you have too. It's actually stronger that way.

i ran my log manifold with the exact same welds for over a year as a DD and it never cracked. im not worried about this one either
