My exhaust manifold has been leaking for years, although I never realized how bad it was until today. When I was at Autozone yesterday, I saw a manifold "welding" compound and figured I would try it out this morning.
This is what I found once I finally got the rusted bolts off of the heat shield.
After some wire brush action. . .
I've never seen pictures of the actual crack, but man, this thing is bad. I slobbered the compound over the crack, and I'll let you guys know how it is once it cures.
Once the wedding is over (less than a week
) the whole exhaust system will go under the chopping block.
