exhaust manifold prep

exhaust manifold bolts/studs-nuts
Hi guys, super new to this forum. Joined recently due to my dumb removal of the cork seal holding the thermostat check ball in. Found a great mod, followed the directions and voilá, success.

Thermostat check ball fix.
thanks guys This post sure saved a headache! I could be accused of not leaving well enough alone when I "cleaned" the "gunk" from that hole. What a great tip for rebuilding the check ball retainer. Thanks again.- dieselpower63
