Blaster Cast aluminum welders???

[96superjet]

First thing... if you ever snap off a brass plug trying to remove it from a Pro-Tec exhaust manifold, DON'T try to use an EZ out to remove it. Else this will probably happen to you as well.

Ultimately I got it out by drilling it out (what I should have done from the beginning). So... anyone think it can be welded and retapped or just spend the money for a new manifold?

@speedysprocket "Alex" of PFM Industries has helped me before by welding the end of a handle pole. Wonder if he can work some magic on this exhaust manifold.

Any good machine shop can fix that. Put a aluminium threaded insert in there and weld it up. Or butter it up and thread it. I would put insert less heat issues.

No problem, but shipping may be cumbersome...

Scott, I have a spare FP 61X manifold you can use while yours is out being repaired. Let me know, I can ship it to you tomorrow.

Thanks Mark, but this is for a second Blaster I'm setting up.

Drill out the hole to a 1/2+ and use a reducer?
