Manifold Repair
For years I've been
wanting to remove the air rail from my exhaust manifold
but have never had the time or the opportunity. Well
with the engine out of the car and the manifold off of
the engine............now's the time!
|
This is not a
pretty sight! What are the odds of getting
those unscrewed? |
 |
|
Step 1......cut
off the air rail.....that was easy! |
 |
I soaked the threaded
pieces in rust buster stuff for about 2 weeks
and.............they looked exactly the same as they had
2 weeks before. I think it's time to apply heat and hit
it with an impact wrench.
|
These are the two
worst ones |
Four came right
out and those two broke |
 |
 |
|
Time to cut,
drill and tap |
All done |
 |
 |
Now all I needed was some
set screws to plug up the holes and some high
temperature paint. For the paint I decided on POR-15's
grey manifold paint which comes with their cleaner and
metal etcher. The set screws I got at my local NAPA
store.
