As I mentioned in an earlier posting I am working on a 56 VAI I recently picked up.
Today I pulled off the exhaust manifold and discovered there must be a half of dozen or better cracks in the exhaust manifold, some going about half way around the manifold. In addition there are 2 holes in the manifold and about a dozen spots or so where it was welded previously.
Is it normal for the exhaust manifold to crack that much and what would cause it? I am going to replace the manifold but am just curious.
thanks
