Hi there Rich!
Well the old "Y" crack happened to mine too! Lucky it happened while i was still posted to a base workshop. I mannaged to get it welded by some one who knew what they were doing then I proceeded to surface grind the face of it so the 2 faces where in the same plane. When I checked the 2 manifolds I noticed they were not in the same plane but stepped. The proper way to have fixed it would have been to remove them both and got them surfaced ground as a pair however I did not have the time then. What I did do is checked the off set and found that it was about the thickness of the gasket i was useing so ended up useing a double thikness on one side and a single thickness on the other. Now that was back in 1995 and the old beast has done well and truely over 10,000 klms and still no re-cracking. Phil...
