check this out i was doing alittle cleanup on the old engine bay when i noticed the driver side header flange had a small crack in it. it starts from the top of the flange and its only about 1/8in long. pretty wide but looks like its not hurting anything. what you guys think replace or just throw a bead over it? its not close to the gasket so its not leaking but i have never heard of this? oh by the way they are bbk ceramic LT's bought about 2yrs ago.. anybody heard of this happening?

i'd just weld it up if it's not hurting anything. be sure to paint over the weld though, or have it re-coated .
