Re: exhaust manifold removal / chick or Chuck

[Farrar Hudkins <fhudkins@xxxx>]

Stian, when had the same question last year, my mechanic said that in a
case like that, he would "use heat, but carefully and not too rapidly."
But now that I think back, I can't remember exactly where he said the
heat would be applied. If the water displacers and penetrating oils and
tapping don't work, I would consider the "carefully and not too rapidly"
option, and of course ask your mechanic. If you don't trust yourself
with an acetylene torch, I would seek help. There's no shame in it. :)
Good luck, Daddy-O.

And for you "Chick Magnet vs. Chuck Magnet" guys, the girl I met most
recently agrees the DeLorean would be a cool car to own, after she buys
her "Boss 429 Mustang." The other women I know can't understand my
obsession with DeLoreans, but then again I can't understand their
obsession with television dramas. Then again, the guys I know can't
understand my obsession with DeLoreans, but I can't dig hockey like they
can. I guess you can't have everything. Sure, I'm single, but I expect
to be single after I get the DeLorean -- perhaps more so. My view is, if
you like the car, drive the car. If you want to impress women, talk to
them. (But not about the car. ;)

Thus ends my $0.02.
