scroll down to the super-hi-temp metal reinforced putty

cast iron/stainless steel, 2000* F, can handle fuels/solvents and can conduct heat...I think we have a winner <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

My suggestion to Weatherguy last year was to weld them.

can't really weld this type collector and haven't found a weld on 1 7/8" primary x 3" collector

you know, nobody has ever really commented on the way i sealed mine. they DO NOT leak. i cut the collector right where the primaries slide in and welded each one to the collector. then cleaned up the welds with my dremell. then i welded the collectors back together and got some high temp ceramic paint and repainted at the welds. looks like new and they dont leak.

Only problem I see is if the stuff is very hard. If it is, it may crack from the engine movement and vibration. It's worth a try though!

interesting. keep us updated. i am always looking for another way to seal them without welding. that is just a plain PITA. also expensive since i dont weld <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
