I was working on clearing up a few of the issues I have had on my LR for a while now so this may be the first of a number of posts today.
Okay, this is going to seem like an amateurish question. I replaced my zenith with a Weber 32/36 and complimentary Pierce manifold. The Pierce does not bolt down to the exhaust manifold as the stock one did. As a consequence a block off plate is needed to cover the hole. This part is easy, I have the plate. The real problem is that with the existing threaded dowels sticking out of the exhaust manifold I cannot run a nut down far enough to hold the plate in place. I assume these dowels are actually threaded into the manifold and have tried heat and oil to break them loose. They aren't press in are they? How does one go about removing them? Any ideas will be GREATLY appreciated.
This wouldn't be such a big deal, but I cannot seal a gasket in there without shorter bolts and therefore the exhaust pressure is inconsistent and makes the thing run funny. More than anything it is an annoying sound I suppose, but I want it fixed.
Thanks,
Kirk
