January 26, 2008 - There was some concern on the German forum about the potential for cracking in the header - and rightfully so.
In an effort to avoid this, I'm heating the header up to 500F for a couple of hours, then I'll let it slowly cool down to room temperature. This should relieve any stresses in the tubing. Will it work? We'll see.
Yes, that's the kitchen stove. Now that Janel's the codriver for the car, she has less cause to complain. She was not overjoyed when I wanted to put car parts in the oven though. I did degrease it first!
