Default ceramic coated header weld crack!

looking for a easy fix short of welding the crack in my new headers.
crack is on the #1 primary tube inside the flange.
very small crack but noticeable "tick" while idling.
any good stuff for a temp repair until i get that side off this winter and weld it properly?

I'd say JB weld, but it's only rated to be good to 500F.

Default So have you ever cracked A header weld?

my header cracked at the #1 and #8 head flange.
A guy at the track gave me some of this stuff to make a temp repair last year.
http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/pyro.htm
I forgotten all about welding the flanges and realized i been driving all over the place and doing launches etc.
Man this stuff works great!
if you got ceramic headers it dries to the same color and shade? ( my header is dirty in pic)
I saw the guy yesterday and told him how great it is.
he also uses it to repair pitted ceramic headers.

Nope. Always broke header bolts, tore holes in the collectors, and header gaskets but never cracked one or a weld.. looks cool! Have to remember that!
