And I have a hairline crack in an Intake Manifold. Is this fixable? Or,
should I just trash it?

Subject: Can someone explain 'magnaflux'?
I've been to the Magnaflux web site, which has told me that that
Magnaflux is an analysis method for defects in metals, not a defect
'fixer' (which is what I once thought it was).
But what do you guys do (or have done) when you 'magnaflux' things like
fan blades? Is this a DIY (dye) test, or do you send the components away
to be magnetised, etc?
Supplementary question ... if Magnaflux finds a problem with fan blades,
what do you do about it? Dump them, strengthen them, or something else?
Hoping to be wiser on this shortly! Now I've got my fan blades out, and
cleaned of paint, I'd like to 'do the right thing' before I repaint
them.
TIA
Regards
