yep, my 3/8" header flange warped today. I've been trying to take it easy welding my ---- together, doing it piece by piece to avoid warping ----, but it's warped. what can I do? I thought about bolting it to the head on my motor and welding the rest that way, but I think that the head might warp to the shape of the flange, and although it would seal pretty good this time, when I actually get a good flange on there ---- won't work. What can I do? pics:





they're probably huge, but I couldn't find the doc writeup on how to resize them, so what you see is what you get.

 

I can't see the pictures that well because your cxamera sucks ***, but it might not be so bad that it won't seal. If it is just take it to a machine shop and have them mill the flange.

BTW, your manifold looks like ***. Just thoguth I would let you know.

my camera pwnz your camera, unless you already bought one identical to mine.

at least my mani isn't going to crack after it's been on for a month, ssauto biatch.

but just have that little bitch milled and you'll be fine.



seriously, though, get a grinder and grind those bitches down a little bit...looks like bird ----

okay i'll quit bustin your *****, but yah anyays good job, and you're right, atleast it wont break.

I'm not welding to win a beauty contest. I already ground that ---- down once, then I welded it again for added security.

 

try the same thing as if your cylinder head got warped, take it to a machine shop and have them resurface the flange til it is nice and straight

 

It doesn't look too bad. Mine looked very similar and all I did was torqued them onto my head till it was flush. I know its not a good idea but it worked for me. :P

 

I hope it doesn't warp too much more when I weld the top half of the pipes, I might just say ---- it and bolt it onto my head when I weld it on there, that was the original idea before I warped that ----.

 

have it resurfaced just like a head.

 

I don't know about all of you ballers saying to machine shop it, this is a budget, how about I just use my angle grinder.
