Vananuts,

On my '85 Westy I have a broken exhaust header, number 4 I think [rear
cylinder, driver side].  I will replace it but I need to use the van this
weekend.

Does anyone know of something I can wrap, glue, plug the crack with for a
week or so.

In the meantime I'll be soaking the head studs with penetrating oil twice
daily if possible or more and ordering gaskets.  Do I need anything else in
the way of hardware?

Wish I could afford the Stebro

TIA

Mike from Sacramento
