Interesting repair. Do you think cleaning the surface really well, using
RTV and a new gasket would do the trick instead of all that
file work? That’s what I do with out issue, maybe I just get lucky a lot
lol.
It sure takes some time to fix the manifold I imagine that part is harder
to find than a hens tooth. Son of a bitch I thought it rained hard on the
West Coast of British Columbia it sounded like a monsoon in the background
noise on part of this vid, rain a lot in southern Oregon?
i use a similar product out here in New Zealand. Wrap the file in emery
tape. it doesnt clog. Ive even been real rough and filled a low block
surface with it Then sprayed it with galv paint and put it together as
normal. it worked.
Love the repair. Just curious, I was always told to avoid touching files
with your bare hand because the salt and moisture can cause them to rust.
Do you just clean the file up with something or have you not ever had that
problem?
Love your channel. The edits, music, outtakes and commentary. Oh and the
volly firefighter tie in is just bonus. How is the old Water Tender?
Hope all is going well for you, and yours. Thanks for all those redneck
rusted out work arounds.
I enjoy watching your videos , I like the results of cleaning a manifold ,
or an engine to paint them . my brother and I have put together a few
hotrods and that was always my specialty ! . Ray in Pa.
I think it’ll work out fine. I’ve already used epoxy on coolant areas and
it’s held for years. Plus you use a ton of gas brazing and it’s tricky on
cast iron. I brazed a set of exhaust manifolds for my 318 and they sealed
up but I’d never do it on someone elses vehicle.
I like on your truck repair project and your phone an Android phone number
in your address where you’re really really located at like on your dreams
the product project what your GMC
Could that epoxy be used to repair a head that leaks antifreeze too? I’ve
got an engine out of a 63 oliver 1800 diesel that leaks some antifreeze.
The head did have some pits that we used that copper seal to try to fix but
ended up still leaking anyway. Would that fix it? It seems easy enough to
apply.
Epoxy is some amazing stuff. I once “glued” a chunk of the rear end housing
on an 885 Case David Brown tractor that had been pulled off because some
yahoo dragged the tractor sideways by the lower arm. That was in the mid
nineties, Still working……
I had a problem with the intake manifold on my 62 Johnson outboard, turns
out it was leaking gas out of one of the bolt holes, blue gasket silicone
took care of that and for good measure new gaskets and the old girl was
running like a top( a smoky top),
It is nice to see someone who knows how to use a file the proper way. No
back and forth, just pushing over the surface, lifting and re-position then
push through again.
Nice fix.
If in doubt, fill it with grout — whitey should be purring like a kitten,
come time for running the hooch. Those dadgum turkeys are stealing the
show, I bet they won’t be bothering you on the Christmas special… Will
there be a Christmas special?

good fix.. I have a “file card” but I didnt know it was called that.. I
also have a “card file” but I have no idea what thats for..
It looks like JB Weld, it is hard to see what is printed on the tube in
your video
What was the turkey’s name…. Christmas?

Perfect as a Swiss clock!
You are a past teacher knowledge the new generation!

LOL Turkey. I love these endings XD
We had some Devcon Aluminum,Devcon Steel repair,worked great also.
My first response when I saw the manifold: “Where’s the J-B Weld?”
i use a similar product out here in New Zealand. Wrap the file in emery
tape. it doesnt clog. Ive even been real rough and filled a low block
surface with it Then sprayed it with galv paint and put it together as

I thought the turkeys would have all been hiding what with thanks giving
and christmas coming up. LOL
put yur tools away :D

Where did you get that intake?
That’s real interesting repair technique but what are the surfaces like on
what it bolts onto?
why not grind it down ?????
Tont has a Bridgeport, he could mill in down past the corrosion to good
metal.
jeff is that the same as JB WELD good work
It is raining. Fire season over then?

The embodiment of “Use what you got and do what ya gotta do”.
Another good vid Jeff, thanks for the time and effort to share it.
Another good video ! Enjoyed it !
Nice tip i like it see ya :-)

great to see you back again working on whitey hopefully we’ll see more
great videos from you soon.

For jobs like this I like to use a flat hone stone when a file is too
aggressive. I also prefer Neil Diamond to John Denver but what do I know.
What is the goo u are using?
Good video
Good stuff…. that JB Weld is good stuff.
Aw man Hahaha! Your worth every cent! Subscribed.
rwhen r ya gunna restored the gmc to its4x4 glory
