Friartuck Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I once had a cast iron problem and I turned to Muggy Weld for specialized welding rods.http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public4/welding-cast-iron-1.cfm See their #77 for clean cast iron and #72 welding rods for dirty cast iron (high carbon content as found on exhaust manifolds). http://www.muggyweld.com/ Take the time to watch their videos. I did preheat the part a little even though they claim you don't need to. If you look far enough into the cast iron page articles, you'll see my water pump repair. Have a trained welder do the job and have him understand the recommended technique (called back stitch) and suggest getting a scrap manifold from a junk yard and practice on that before tacking the real manifold. Is spending $75 for specialized rods worth it to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
