Spent over two hours removing the Right side header from my Trilogy Marauder to fix what I thought was a blown out header gasket only to find this two inch long crack in the header. Thanks Ford Racing. Now four more days of down time waiting on another set. Hotrod Life...

I wouldn't waste my time, or money on those things! They are highly prone to cracking just as that one did , and eventually the replacement your ordering will do.

And your recommendation for a lasting fix is?

Comin' In Hot had then same problem with his shorties cracking, welded them, etc etc, nothing but trouble IIRC.

Put them in the scrap heap so somebody can make a chair out of them.

Looks like it's already been repaired once before.

This ! If you go this route, I will buy the chair. It will be a bad-ass chair.

I had the same issue with multiple cracks. I MIG'd the crap out of them, used them then went to Kooks. Those are garbage
