anifolds<br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B This is method that I =
use to remove broken bolts and studs from cast iron exhaust manifolds. With=
a broken stud in a manifold=2C as long as I can get a small pair of long n=
ose locking pliers onto the screw=2C bolt or stud then the rest is typicall=
y easy=2C if you are patient.<br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B =
I heat only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to cherry red and then sh=
ock cool it with a wet rag=2C followed by some penetrating solution like "K=
roil" or "PB Blaster". Then I carefully clamp the needle nose locking plie=
rs on the end of the exposed stud and GENTLY rock it back and forth ever so=
slightly. If you get any movement whatsoever back and forth the rest will=
come=2C if you're patient. Repeat the heating and shock cooling process f=
ollowed by the locking pliers as many times as it takes. With patience and=
luck the broken stud will progressively unscrew a bit farther with each ap=
plication of heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all the way. <=
br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B I did this recently with a BJ8 =
Manifold where 7 of the 8 studs were frozen and/or broken off. Some of the=
m had just ?? of stud proud of the manifold. All seven came out using this=
process.<br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B This process may work=
on an aluminum manifold IF and ONLY IF you are careful not to use too much=
heat near the aluminum. <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>>=3B <br>=

=3B Larry=2C I don't think they mess with the journals so there should be n=

=3B My block has been over-bored and after 13 years of service wouldn't qui=
te clean up at 88 mm. I'll be ordering the 88.5 mm pistons. I like the DW r=
oute because it allows them to use lighter pistons and more modern metric r=
ings they say will cut down on blow-by. CR shouldn't change unless I do cut=
the pistons and then it won't increase much. I'm waiting to hear what need=
s to be done to the head. If it needs to be decked too a lot of things migh=
t change.I haven't micced the old head gasket=2C but i'll need to compare i=
t to the new one at some point. Even though I don't think I'll be driving i=

Bill=2C don't let them grind the cam journals=2C it seems undersize<br>>=

e had only done 8000<br>>=3B miles from new. I had it bored to 3 5/8 =
and sleeved it back to 3 1/2<br>>=3B using good quality iron liners f=
rom LA Sleeve. I used semi dished<br>>=3B plus 0.060 pistons from JP =
pistons here in Australia. They give a<br>>=3B final compression rati=
o of about 9.5 to 1. I would see no problem<br>>=3B with machining th=
