OK if it turns out i cant get this god dmaned outlet maniflod of my engine because one of the bolts is fooked, what would you do? this bol could not be any rounder or in a more difficult place to be, the gasket on it is in seriouse need of a change before going into me corsa.
what would you do? get a new head and manifold? or new engine? or keep trying to get it off, or errrr......
