For those of you who want to talk to me, my new addy is 'caunce' at optusnet.com.au Brian, I know you have been after me, and yes, I am machining the manifold and repairing the water pipe with 316 stainless. I have find out what type of manifold you have, i.e. EGR or likewise. If you can, take a picture of the back of your manifold and send it to me please. I need to make sure you can swap back for smog testing.
