        It is true, all MGB manifolds will crack, as long as you drop it off 
of a tall enough building. But seriously, I have never heard of this 
problem, know of no reason why it should be true, and belive that any 
mechanic who sees a trend of this might be guilty of over-torquing his 
manifolds.
