My attempt at titanium head pipe straighting by freezer method.
- Thread starter Sun
- Start date
Waiting for outcome. Here is a question.... would that same idea work for a dented pipe/end cap on a FMF slip on?
Dont know about it working on an end cap Geek. I dont recall seeing anything on that part.
Here are the results so far"
Here is
BEFORE:
And AFTER 9.5 hours in the freezer
As you can see it has popped some. I did notice how the couple of sharp ding like dents I had didnt budge. But the larger sweeping dent did
Perhaps the shape of the dent has something to do with popability
So now Im defrosting it and will give it another round. I dont think I will cap it this time either. Im going to be really happy if it pops out some more
Okie dokie, time to chill again

Keep us up to date on the degree of "popability"
What about PALMERS hose clamp idea and a couple pieces of rubber (inner tube cut into squares that'll fit around the ends? You are welcome in advance (but only if it works...

I dont think I want to fill it to the end or cap it. Im worried about the ends of the pipe changing shape and not fitting anymore
Is that lame thinking?I just dont know.I dont think I want to fill it to the end or cap it. Im worried about the ends of the pipe changing shape and not fitting anymore
it's possible, it'll want to expand towards the ends (I would think...)
...i say........ I'll have to get back to you on this!
hey that's awesome sun, 
on the next cycle. I remember some say bigger dents take two or three freeze cycles, looking good so far, I with you on the caping it off. If it swells enough to move that dent that much. I imagine it would split the ends if it was completely full.
