Welding

Horseshoeing · May 19th, 2007, 07:18 PM

I got a 2000 Nissa Xterra that has a cracked exhast manifold. I got the heat sheild off and i want to know if i can weld the crack while it is still on the car? Thanks

HMUSN · May 19th, 2007, 07:19 PM

sure can.

I have done it on my old sixer.

Thanks, I think I have 3 cracks. Lets hope I can weld them. I have cast iron rods and have welded cast before, but I am not good at welding cast.

just take it slow and do your little half moons and I am sure you'll be fine man.

i asked a shop about it when mine was cracked, he said it is possible but he had heard horror stories about it

I really looked at it and I don't think I can weld it. I foung 4 cracks and I think 1 of them cracked it in two. I am going to take it off and look at it and I think I am going to buy a new one.

buy a new one all the way man, and make it a performance while ur at it

I think a new one is for the best on this one, but Its a V6 Nissan Xtterra. I am selling her and don't care about performance. I will take a pic of it. Its bad. I drove the car to work maybe 15 miles one way. I didn't care about a leak, but then it got really bad and I am selling the car, so I have to fix it now.

MSO · May 20th, 2007, 10:29 AM

i see, how much u sellin it for?

Horseshoeing · May 21st, 2007, 07:08 AM

Its a good car, but I don't really like selling cars to people I know. I am looking to get $6,500 for her. Saying that, I am not selling her on here.
