Truckless. For now.
Aaron broght this up some time ago when I was mentioning my manifold swap (cracked pass. side for a good one.)
Well, we did the swap today and holy cow! It's the fastest I've ever seen a manifold go on in my life!
Here's the tip...er recipe: Seriously:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees on bake.
Clear a quick path to said broken truck. Have the bolts lined up ready to install.
Once the oven is preheated, stick the manifold in and let it bake for 45 minutes - basically until it starts cooking all the grease off.
Get some silicone oven mits, or double up on leather gloves, and after 45 minutes pull the manifold from the oven and head for the Typhoon while someone is ready to install bolts.
Drop the manifold in, line stuff up and install bolts!
We seriously put the manifold in in 5 minutes. Bolts lined right up, went right in and we were done. Just like that. No stretcher, cussing or swearing. Dropped right in. :tup:
I just gotta say Aaron is the man. It was the coolest...er hottest trick I've seen yet for installing an exhaust manifold.
