Emmanuel Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Today, I wanted to clean my air filter and found this big crack on the upper part of the pipe... Do you think I can just wrap it with some strong duct tape and drive at low rpm until I get the part replaced ? Any clue about why this happened ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Check engine mounts as first culprit to doubt that why it happen. For emergency repair Go down, remove that neck with screw driver and put cloth inside the suction tube that goes inside the manifold. Use super glue generously on inside the crack surface. Use araldite (two paste to mix) easily available in groceries too. Use that on top of cracked surface and let it dry for 2 hours. Then use a breathable strong clothe, like the crepe bandage and wrap on whole neck. Then cover whole neck with strong masking/duct/aluminium tape. Then put several cable ties on each ring. Install back and it would be good for long time even with 6k rpm but still get this neck change as soon as market open after eid holidays. 4 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Rahimdad Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 It will be a good idea to change your engine mounts before changing the pipe or you might have a second casualty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
