Coolant Tube cracking

Re: Coolant Tube cracking
Yea, you can weld it up and then grind it smooth again. Should not be to difficult.

Re: Coolant Tube cracking
Jeff,
What causes that? Was bolt just overtorqued? BTW, ordered bolts from McMaster. |

Re: Coolant Tube cracking
After welding, you need to make sure its not warped on the mating gasket surface.
