Crack in inlet manifold.

[Amberlamps]

Got my inlet manifold all painted up and looking quite nice. Finished off the lettering today and then found this:

Never noticed it when painting it, so f**k knows how it occured.

So i'm guessing its just bin worthy now?

The cost to get it repaired will out weigh the cost of another one.


You can see the corner buy the bolt hole has been hit, as if the manifold has been dropped.

Yeah, not arsed about the cost. Just the time and (not much) effort painting it, and that i was just about to fit it.

Probably happened in transit i guess. I must be blind to have not noticed it before!

I've never seen one do that before and I've dropped plenty. That's had a whack and a half!

Ideally needs replacing as surface will never be 100% flat again.
