My chisel broke in half when I was replacing an exhaust manifold gasket at work. When it broke it created a shard edge on the end of the chisel and I didnt notice it. I kept hammering on it and it scraped a pin hole in the exhaust manifold. The manifold has a coolant jacket that runs around the exhaust pipe inside it. To replace it, it's gonna take around 10-12 hours of work. Are there any putty's or a type of solder I can use to plug it up?

Cast iron is not difficult to weld. It could be fixed rather easily. If it's just a pinhole it would take longer to get the manifold off and put it back on than to weld it up, but it would be done RIGHT, and you wouldn't have to worry about it.
