I have done 2 of these manifolds now. The first turned out very nice. The second one, not as nice. The customer was happy. The owner was happy. Me, not so much. I skip around alot so as not to overheat and warp or crack things. I dont like that appearance. All the stops & starts. I would like to improve the appearance. After all the welding is complete can I run 1 continious bead over the previous weld? If I use more preheat can I do fewer welds? Maybe get everything tacked and then preheat then weld up 1 side and down the other.

If it was me, I would tack it all the way around and just start welding from one end to another.

Two of what manifolds?

See his other thread. Honda intake manifolds that were cut open.
