Will mono ethylene glycol (green anti freeze) do the job?
Why and how does it react differently to titanium?
I think it's not working since I only fill a few inches past the dent, and not blocking any ends. But I'm afraid if I try to fill it all, the welds will crack.
Should I just inflate it with high pressure (100 psi?) and heat the dent area?
If you have the means to plug it up and heat it then go for that!!!

Also, drop a socket down in the header, once something solid is there, you can tap around the outside of the dent and it will come right out (as the socket keeps moving deeper and deeper) into the dent. Body work is an art, I watch a guy at work pound stuff out like magic. It’s fun to watch, but requires patience.
Sounds weird tapping it when it's frozen inside, will pop out the dent..
Filling a chamber with water and freezing it also works well. We have pushed out a lot of expansion chambers for two strokes. We also filled a pipe with water once, welded both ends up with a freeze plug and installed a zerk, using a grease gun you can pump the dent out. It was messy, but a grease gun can put out about 10,000psi
otherwise...

Can it damage the header or will it fix the dent? My last try before sending to a professional for $100.

Edit after I post it I saw that you tried it. It works better with smaller dents and it’s better than doing nothing. Nice! That’s much better. The change in color adds character.
