Disappointing rear cylinder header break above the weld. Hate to put the stock header and muffler back on...1250...536 cams... porting work... going to try to weld them back together but looks pretty light weight...hard to believe that they lasted for 35000 mi.

Pete, they are stainless steel....tig it with lots of argon/ helium...to keep the weld clean as you weld .

Don't forget to purge it first as well.

Pete, its an easy repair any good welder with a tig machine can weld it. I welded stainless all this past weekend at Barber motorsport park on a windy parking lot keeping racers on the track.

Pete, I had planned on getting together with you this year but just had too many irons in the fire this year. I spoke to Mike about getting together with you and he is game for it we just have to get some time when we all can get time enough to do it
