I have twin 318-m motors one of the manifolds has a crack I,am looking for a good used manifold casting # E5799M
Or has anyone heard or tried line boring and inserting a stainless steel tube for a fix. |

Where's the crack? If you can get at it possibly it can be brazed... which would be a "band-aid" fix at best but might get you back in business for a time. You might be able to find a good used one at a local boat yard that works on engines. Maybe put an ad in www.craigslist.com. |

Thank you jimct, the crack is unreachable with out pulling the manifold apart then brazing the crack and brazing your way out again the last of my options.
I still lean toward sleaving the exaught tube my thoughts are in the proper material to use stainless I think may expand faster than cast iron, maybe monal tubeing may be the right choice or better choice. |

What Barry was looking for is a manifold for the early M318 which is also known as a poly motor. Mighty tough to find those anymore. I do see them listed every once in a while on ebay but seems to be fewer and farther apart. Barry you could change to LM 318's.. it would be costly but you wouldn't have parts issues anymore.
Or I have a friend in Australia who makes stainless Steel manifolds. he might be able to make a pair custom for you? ( they are $$$ like 1900 a set ) We sell them to the commercial fisherman who are replacing manifolds every few years.
Barry I knew of a set of M318 manifolds but can't remember now who had them. If your still looking throw me a email or drop a line here and I will followup on these on Monday morning.

I have a 318 m from the mid sixties and know where there is another if this is what you are looking for.
They had several different manifolds.
Post a pic and I'll see if I have got a match.
