It is possible to fix the cracked manifold on your own but this is a temporary solution and a total replacement should be undertaken if and when necessary.

Check for any leaks in the manifold and if there is none then you are good to go. Step 3 - Test the EngineĪfter curing, top the engine coolant and then switch on the engine and allow it to warm. Step 2 - Apply EpoxyĪpply the epoxy without it dripping then allow it to cure and seal the crack. Epoxy adheres accurately to a rough surface as opposed to a smooth one and as such, the area should be sanded down properly at least 2 inches from the site of the crack.
