Hi group,
My son has a motor cross bike and after last weekend crash the expansion chamber now has some rather large dents in it. I made two blanking plugs for the ends of the pipe. One blanking plug has an air valve in it so that I can pressurise the pipe. I put 30 pounds pressure in the pipe. Heated the dents with my blowtorch until nearly red hot and started tapping around the edge of the dents with a hammer. Most of the dents comes out but not as good as the motor cross shop could do. Each dent is about a quarter of the size it was originally but I can't seem to get them any better. Is it that I need more pressure in the pipe or do I need to get the metal hotter? Any thoughts please.
Regards, Martin Perry
