Have you used the induction heaters? The shop that my son works in took out the torches and provided induction heaters. The mechanics were not impressed and the torches are now back. I think they still have the induction heaters but don't know if they ever use them. Randy On 08/09/2022

Depends on whether there's enough room to get a nutbreaker on the nuts. If you break the nuts open, then you can try to clean the stud threads after you take the manifold off. But breaking nuts is harder than unscrewing nuts, if only the nuts could be unscrewed... On 2022-09-06 15:01, Allan
