Kevin,
Nice Bulge! (something my wife often says
to me ;) but seriously…
Was that seam welded? If so, that’s
one heck of a backfire.
I have to say, even though that picture
only shows a small view of the intake manifold, the workmanship on that
aluminum looks very good. Who did your TIG & tube bending – nice work

my new engine has been hard to
start. the other weekend I experienced a big bang [backfire I
guessed]. today I noticed my intake manifold has a bit of a leak!
my design assumption that it would always be in a slight vacuum state was
obviously wrong. need to check the carb I guess to see if anything
happened to it.
