Frozen Manifold Heat Control Valve

Thanks you guys! I've been wanting to try the torch and wax routine. Looks like I'll start with the 'soak and tap' while I work on putting the engine and transmission back together.

the fix is a new manifold—see here for particulars.

That's why I don't gamble. I just paid $70 to surface the intake / exhaust manifolds.

HA!
