What did I do to my class C?
Well it's been more than just a day.
I started a week before Christmas after a trip to the East Fork San Gabriel River above the city of Azusa. Major exhaust leak started on the driver side.
Made it to the mountains and back, but damage was done.
After inspection I found a broken fan belt on the AC, a burned-out spark plug wire on the number one cylinder, and exhaust leak to the tailpipe from the manifold, and last but not least a cracked exhaust manifold between third and fifth cylinder. And that was just the inspection.
So I pulled off the exhaust manifold.

At least I have a friend with the welder and cast iron rods. Just before Christmas we welded it. And repaired it with Pyro putty.
I drilled out the broken bolt that cause the original failure.
Now I'm putting it all back together, more to come
