    Although partially iterating here's my recommendations after having done several manifolds

    -If warped first cut webbing then enlarge stud holes (except those for centre cylinder), and only then reface (if needed that is)
    -Replace all studs
    -Use Class 8.8 or stronger studs (alloy steel, quenched and tempered)
    -Smear with copper based anti-seize compound
    -If using longer studs DO NOT screw all the way in (see how they come installed from factory)

    Modified exhaust manifold after a high temperature paint treat:

    Ok. Pop quizz hot shots......

    Can someone please explain to me in, "I am about to throw the spanner to the other side of the yard lingo", how one might go about releasing the tension on the belt that runs thru the air con compressor, and then removing said compressor?

    Many thanks.

    Cancel that request. It is amazing what you discover once you remember that you have Rave...

    What RAVE doesn't tell is that you don't really need to get the viscous fan out first. With a 15mm wrench (better off a half moon one) and a bit of patience turn the belt tensioner (next to alternator) counterclockwise with your left hand and pull the belt off with your right one. Sounds easy, it is not. You may find yourself walking across the yard to pick up the wrench --a number of times-- though still less of a pain than having to remove the viscous 'fun'.

    Mike, if you want to offload the old manifold let me know. I have a pending R&D project it.

    Sorry andrew I had to hand it over as an exchange unit . The one I got back looked like it came off a boat. Very rusty and pitted I spent a lot of time cleaning it up and painting with heat proof paint.

    Kevin,
