Fml this sucks

[dsmDolney]

Got my manifold welded and came back like this all warped and crap so now i dont know what to do have to get a new one.

Wow...who welded that? Have MAP flatten the flange.

[punxnotdead185]

Yeah we got a big ass belt sander that could flatten that out pretty easy at MAP.

[dsmDolney]

it was cracked on the flange and my father brought it to the neighbor who supposebly does fabrication. I wanted to bring it to map to have the flange re welded on and call it good but he said no.
would a belt sander get it perfectly flat and even tho ? I didn't think it would but who knows

[Kracka]

That's how MAP flattens all their flanges after welding.

[dsmDolney]

ok sweet I didn't know that obviously but it true you learn something new every day lol. maybe ill get my manifold ceramic coated to when I bring it if they do that also.

I've flattened quite a few flanges after welding with my 3 Inch. The gasket should fill any imperfections left.

[dogwhistle]

I had MAP flatten my turbo and manifold flanges and did an amazing job. Sealed right up.

[Kracka]

Great idea on getting it coated as well.

[dsmDolney]

Sounds good im going to run there tomarrow and see if they can do it quick
