tayo_the.least Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Got me a gem of a 411! 1967 Datsun RL411 (badged DATSUN1600 for about 4 months before they all started being badged SSS) I just need a few things to get her buttoned up proper, the main one being an exhaust manifold to replace my cracked one. I might look into repairing it and powder coating it for longevity.. if nothing turns up decently soon. thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 The plastic coating melts at 150C or 350F and cured at 400 F. Exhaust manifolds can reach 1,200 F so.... Get it ceramic coated. 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Sorta holding up, it still leaks at the lower flange. A better solution is to build a new manifold. I would start with a stock flange and go from there with tubing and v-bands. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I fabricated a replacement exhaust manifold gasket to the rest of the exhaust piping on my RL411 by cutting 2 [real, not later pretenders] 510 gaskets and piecing them togethed. A dab of Muffler Mender to hold them in place while alignihg the mamifold flange and the rest of the exhaust and all is well. Quote Link to comment
