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.

I've stopped going to get stitches (after the first time heh) after dressing it all myself and having it not scar up compared to the nice big scar from where I had stitches! My most recent one has a small scar I see showing up, but still no where near as bad. The trick I found, wrap it up nice after it happens, bandage it up good for about a day w/o taking it off so theres at least SOME healing to have happened. Then re-bandage it with some good antibiotic ointment. But the key is to splint it and don't move it! Keeps you from moving it just a bit and then ending up tearing whatever healing your body has done to it 
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 Thread Starter
