Re: Has anyone arc welded a log manifold
 

im kinda cautious about heat wrap. i heard if done unevenly it can cause some heat spots. er rather just significant changes of metal temperatures which if near a weld can cause some cracking. i've never personally used it but. probably just try to keep a nice even wrap of the runners.

any tips on pipe welding anyone?

arc isnt the best for it but it will work, i prefure tig or at least mig, but ehh, ark can have little pin holes that u cant really tell that are there so maybe mock it up with mig mild, then if u welding stainless use 309 filler stainless rod, just to insure it, to make sure there are no holes or leaks of any kind, or just make sure u leak test it. i made a bmc style elf with ark, using stainless rod, it acutaly looked like thick tig welds, if you know what your doin and got a decent welder that u can do about any project of this type, i have a miller ark welder, century mig and soon to have a miller tig ;D. just practice alot, i sucked at first. -blake
