Skip Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 14 hour soak and no crab? I vote heat shields, esp over the "J" pipes off the head, but there are many others. I had to put a half dozen spot welds on my head pipe heat shields last time I had it off. Maybe get an assistant to slowly rev the engine while you listen under the car. These can also be tightened with worm style hose clamps. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
