Message: [QUOTE="Lt.Dan, post: 1394738, member: 24137"] Going through some other parts, cleaning them up and getting ready for reinstallation of the motor. Still no confirmed answer on the motor. Cleaned up the valve cover gaskets, and UVCH's. Went to go take apart the exhaust up-pipes from the manifolds and the collector (I pulled it all out as one piece, since there were no heads or turbo on it.) And 1 of the bolts that went into the collector was completely destroyed and wouldn't come out. You could see all the threads flattened where it came out the back. So i had to cut the head off, and drill/tap the hole back to 8mm x 1.25. Then as i was drilling it out, i noticed the hole adjacent from it was cracked through the housing.... We tried to TIG weld it with both Silicon Bronze rod and stainless rod, but it just wasnt taking it, so we gave up and through it in the trash... time to buy a new one. Just placed an order for all new up-pipe bolts, and the collector from RiffRaff diesel, $176 shipped... After this, my list is pretty small for whats left, just some clean up of the engine bay, and other odds and ends like hose clamps etc. [/QUOTE]
