I am digging in and removing the heat exchangers and was wondering if there are any tricks or things to watch for? I don't want to damage the heads in the process. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

QUOTE Anneal? Redneck from Kansas, please define? Heat the new copper gaskets to red hot and let them cool slowly. They will soften up and seal better. |
