Wonder if it works (other than short-term)?

If it does, I'll give you a tenner for a couple of teaspoonsful!

Our 2.0 has a manifold crack that doesn't seem to leak gas, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Bought an uncracked 2nd-hand one, but the face is bowed like a banana (2-3mm end to end).  Guess I could get it re-machined flat.  Undecided

Borrow a belt sander.

If attacking the crack then it needs holes drilling at each end, the crack grinding out and the goo putting in.

its a paste so if gasket has gone just paste over and around manifold simples its got to be cheaper than a garage been told it will take 3-4 hours to change gasket i know £85 a lot of money but its worth a try  Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!

Slap it on mate, Omegas are a pain in the ass to work on especially manifolds etc so patching it is fine by me anyday. Good luck Thumbs Up!

Surely,even for all the extra agro removing the manifold ,how could you possible get a paste to repair a leaking gasket.

If the manifold has a crack in it,you could pick up a second hand for about £20..the couple of gaskets and seals say another £20 max so the only nasty bit is then actually doing the work.

Assuming this stuff sticks like sh## to a blanket and you manage to smear it allaround the manifold how would you ever remove it if it doesn,t live up to its billing and the gasket/manifold replacement is then the only cure.

Yes but, your gonna have to strip most of what is needed to be removed to change the gasket just to get to the mainfold to 'slap it on'
