98 TJ header cracked
Helped a bud yesterday get his 98 TJ 4.0 ready for the season. He mentioned
he thought he had an exhaust leak, so I took a look. Did he ever! The headers are cracked all the way around on one of the tubes right where the final two go into one. Is this a 'normal' occurrence? Should we look for a sinister cause, i.e. bad motor mounts or the like? Has anyone dealt with this? Obviously, the header has to be replaced, any suggestions? What's it going run him? Don't think we're going take this one on in the backyard. TIA, Shamus in CO Reply to group, execrable spammers! BTW We HercuLined the entire inside of the tub. Man, that stuff makes it look bad a$$! |

It is a design flaw. You may want to check out this website for a replacement.
