after 6 hours, phonecalls to 7 seperate suppliers, 3 days wait, and a hell of a lot of blood sweat and tears, i have my manifold gasket back in ..
2 studs are broken in the head, one beyond repair, looks like the whole stud has spun into soft metal,.
but with hillbilly engineering and a bloody big hammer, job done, still a slight tapping , with the blow but im prepared to accept that after seeing all the damage!
new engine soon anyway
now weres that TCP
