Title: Exhuast leak
Post by: SomeThingWilder on May 02, 2016, 08:56:24 PM
Anyone ever get their logs (manifolds) decked/surfaced before. I have a exhaust leak and am thinking the logs might have a little warping going on. Looking for a machine shop near me to get it done in a timely manner.  Im in Fullerton Ca

My dad's shop used to have one of the old cylinder head deck belt sanders, worked killer.  You don't see them much anymore.

We used to do aluminum ones for $20 each in 2006, headers for $30, iron factory Ford 460 truck manifold for $50, those fukkers were hard as diamonds.

Good luck.

I just used them for my engine rebuild. They do great work but you gotta push them if you want it back in a timely manner. They're pretty busy in there.

If time becomes a problem, check with local old school muffler shops.  I know the guys at Redlands Muffler can do it, but a little far from the OC.
