Which is better for filling the GMC cast iron intake manifold crossover, Aluminum or HardBlok?
I've had a recent quote of $100.00 from an aluminum foundry to fill the manifold. I understand it takes about 20 lbs which works out to 3.5 quarts.
Hardblock is $104.00 for their large size, which makes 3 quarts of filler. I would need to buy two of them.
My manifold has a crack, as does another that may be filled at the same time. I will use the Paterson block-off kit as well. (BTW, I've recently seen a block that had these installed and that had been in service for several years. The kit remained on the block and the SS plates were deformed into a 'hump' in the area of the exhaust ports. Presumably hot enough that exhaust heat sent them into the plastic zone and pressure pushed them in (this manifold did not have the crossover filled).

Bill, some of the block off plates are formed to fit the manifold.
Mondello, among others are made that way.

Those started out flat. Sounds like your engine has been "run hard and put
up wet".
Check your plug heat range, mechanical advance, and wide open throttle
air fuel mixture. You got a WHOLE BUNCH of heat in that motor.

Lot of you have no idea as to why the intake over heats.
It is caused by your cheap junk mufflers that crests higher restriction on
one , so the exhaust flows to the other side through the intake passage.
So by installing the SS plate and running those cheap car mufflers and
destroying the plate and complaining and thinking pouring in Al which
cannot handle the high temp that our coaches crests as it has to push air
constantly.
Look up the max temp of AL vs SS
They loosen up after a while
And make noise.

Not complaining, just looking for advice. Are bad mufflers really responsible for all the cracked mufflers?

Are bad mufflers responsible for cracked mufflers? Of course. Are they (as I suspect you meant) responsible for cracked manifolds? Potentially yes because as Jimmy The K says, if one muffler presents more restriction than the other, the exhaust pressure can and will equalize by a portion of it going through the crossover to the side of least restriction. In some circumstances, this will get the crossover hot enough to crack here and there. Blocking it will preclude this problem. However, it cures the symptom, not the problem. Given a blocked crossover and asymmetric muffler restriction, one side of the engine is going to see more back pressure than the other, also not a great idea. Fix the exhaust and then consider whether blocking or restricting or leaving it be is what you need. Opinions vary on these choices.

And I have a question for the Exhaust Gurus. My coach has a single muffler with two inputs. Are the two inputs joined together before any of the baffles in this muffler? (If so, there's no great crossover flow).

There are a couple of configurations of factory exhaust systems. They all
have two mufflers. Followed by a "Y" pipe. Then into a long exhaust pipe
down the passenger side of the coach.
Then, the fun begins. Aftermarket stuff. Double inlet/single outlet is
one configuration that I have seen quite a few of. Tube headers, car
exhaust manifolds, all manner of cobbled up exhausts. Very high quality all
stainless steel mandrel bent 3" end to end systems, straight pipes without
mufflers that terminate at the rear of the coach into a single muffler.
Everyone seems to have a different idea. 403's vs 455's
Jim K has a very high quality bolt in system. He knows what works, and
what does not.
I have been under so many of these coaches I have seen quite a bit of
really poor exhaust work. And a bunch of charred and burned floors. Cheap
stuff will NOT LAST, and in many cases, is a FIRE HAZARD.
It takes a good deal of horsepower to move these 12,000 pound coaches.
Horsepower is Heat. If you make heat at 10000 btu's per second, you need to
be able to SAFELY get rid of heat at that rate, as well.
Engineers test these systems to destruction in closed cell labs as
well as operating vehicles. They have corporate as well as the NTSB
breathing down their necks. GM spent tons of money developing these
systems. For the most part, they did a very thorough job. Just sayin'.

Thanks for the correction, Johnny. I did mean cracked manifolds above.
I will check the manufacturer and type of the mufflers on my coach, but shouldn't I fill the existing cracked manifold no matter what that shows to keep the cracks from growing? And if one is different than the other, change the mufflers?
Any thoughts on the question in the first post, i.e, not if but how?

Bill,
Filling and blocking the crossover, no matter how you do it, is a good idea. If you have a cracked intake, that may be a cure for it. This is not a given. While I have not seen, I can imagine scenarios where the filling does not solve all of the problems. It should keep the crack(s) from growing as there will no longer be the thermal stress on the casting.
Without seeing it, I can only guess. Even then, it would just be a better guess.

Johnny,
There is simply no way to know what happens inside the shell any muffler. Most of the dual inlet mufflers I have seen open have separate second tubes. So, the answer for them would be no. But, I have only seen that one open. By the design criteria to make a two inlet muffler, I would bet most do not have a common first chamber.
The thing you are concerned about (and should be) is that in many low cost mufflers, the tubes are supported by the baffles and those baffles can break loose and stack so as to block the flow. This is a condition that is common only to the mufflers that do not have full length resonator tubes. I would think that this would not be the case in you two inlet can.

Look, I have been running these coaches and working on these to know that
mufflers do not deteriate at same time so the baffles get loose and
restrict flow on one side befor the other and now the higher pressure is
trying to equalize by flowing through the intake.
Also know that our engines operate at much higher load from the aerodynamic
load.
Vaccume reading a car will run close to 20"he , while our coaches run 12-13.
Even an aluminum intake with no exhaust cross over will fail when one
muffler deteriats befor the other.
You can waste time and money filling the cross over and complain later.
Yes in cars and pick ups filling the intake will last, not not in the MH.
If you guys think I'm full of it then do it your wsy

One thing we do know for absolutely sure. Cast iron, once cracks start,
does not heal itself. It always gets worse. If it is cracked through to the
floor of the inlet tract, it will run like crap when warmed up if something
isn't done to block the crossover.

Jim K,
I suppose the 'best practices' question might be...
"If/when you come across a cracked manifold in a coach with a stock two-muffler exhaust, what is the best way to proceed."
I would be very interested in hearing more information about failures of/because of aluminum filled manifolds.
For the record, I am not complaining or thinking about complaining since whichever way I proceed will be my own decision and I do not complain about them to anyone but me.

Just use use common sense. Al has low melting point.
Our coaches are not like Hot rods or cars.
Understand that, and you will listen to people like us that has been
involved.
Like everything , it will work fine for a while, but will start
deteriorating after it goes through cycles.
