Soaking header bolts w/ PB Blaster. HOW?
I was trying to soak the bolts yesterday w/ some pb blaster, in anticipation of my LT install (not for a month or so), but hey.
However, I was only able to get 2 or 3 bolts. Can't even see the others or reach them, nor can the can fit in.

Anyways that was so off topic, sorry I hurt my hands a lot
So blasting bolts, I concur with the straw method. Hell, if you have ANY kind of hose (like vacuum hose, but smaller) that will work to make a butt-joint for TWO straws, all the better You could always soak ABOVE the manifold too and let it seep down between the head, gasket and manifold and then it'll work its way in the threads too. Dunno what it is about PB and WD40, but it manages to soak right into the smallest places Just pool it a bit and watch it go away heh
