Bull, I don't have much to offer. I don't have flame, but you're welcome to use my garage. Never did an exhaust manifold, but I can be a second set of hands.

Why do you need a torch? An exhaust manifold is bolt on.

Plan on taking some time with this. It can take some hours.

 

[cjshloman]

Ive been told by lots of people to have a torch for stubburn bolts so I dont break the studs. Im I wrong? I would love to just unbolt and go. But my luck isnt good. Bull.

a good map gas torch and some parafin wax will do just fine

 

[cjshloman]

Is that a joke, or a real thing??? Bull.

 

[massxj]

no joke it a trick an old timer taught me. heat up the bolt push the wax into it let it cool a bit and out it comes. needs to be parafin wax. the heat draws the wax in

 

[cjshloman]

Ok I can try that Danielson.....wax on, header off. Got any torches?

 

[massxj]

[cjshloman]

[cjshloman]

Yeah I got one doz. Well maybe Ill give it a try, just need some more hands/help. Bull

 

[massxj]

if you use mapp gas its a bit hotter than propane it will heat bolts red hot if you wait a bit http://www.bernzomatic.com/bernzomatic/consumer/jhtml/gasTypeComparisons.jhtml

I pulled the header off one of my cherokee's, No broken bolts.

I'd be happy to help but this time tomorrow I'll be in norway. I'll be back next week.

I had to switch DC to 11/20 so anytime afterwork next week works for me.

 

[cjshloman]

Cool, Ill find out which day. Also need to find the map gas. Bull.

 

[jeepsquire]

Pluss I need to do one of those soon too and I can see how. LOL

 

[cjshloman]
