SPIDER BAIT
...Why would it burst after running for 3 days....with no signs of seepage or leaking
The welded coolant passage was far enough away from the oil passage and we even used 2 large pieces of cast iron to absorb any renegade heat along with bolting to flat steel
With the coolant passage only cracked and not in 2 seperate pieces {like the oil passage} after drilling small relief holes at the ends of the crack it was bolted to a piece of flat steel prior to tig welding.
After the weld cooled and the steel was removed, I used a sharpie to ink the flange and moved a flat file across to check flatness...we were cool!
Even when installed on the eng, it aligned sweet and true with the front oil cooler header...
