Morning Klaus,

I took your advice, bought some high temperature gasket cement and put the thermostat back together.

I wanted to ask you about the exhaust manifold removal and replacement. It is pretty hard to see anything back there without a mirror and some kind of light source and I have to admit I am a little nervous about trying to hook all of this back up when the time comes.

Right now I haven't figured out a good way to get some penetrating fluid onto the nuts holding the manifold in place and in discussion with my mechanic friend he suggested it might be easier to disconnect at the turbo and lift the head up with the manifold stil fastened to the head. What is your opinion on that?

In the interim I am looking for some kind of syringe that I can use to spread penetrating fluid onto the manifold fasteners.

You did say it would only get worse!

Bob
