header repair
« on: April 15, 2010, 11:19:02 AM »
Hi all,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has scraped the lower bend of their header and left flat spots.  Anyone know of a good way to take the "crush" out of the bend?  Mine aren't real bad, but I doubt the restriction enhances performance.

Thanks,
Rob

Drill the low spot of the dink, screw in the slide hammer, and bang it out?  Weld up the screw hole?  Don't see any other way.
