Need some advice here on what to do with my warped stock header. I need to have the crack repaired and went to have the flange checked for flatness. It was warped. By about 1/8"... How the hell does that happen? Well my welder assured me he "clamped it down good". Well apparently not.
We bolted it to the spare head I have here and my buddy used a torch on the #5 tube to straighten it back out. We also heated up the flange itself.
Did I hurt the header itself by doing this? I should be able to use a gasket to get it to seal up now.
Thanks.
