Making progress! Had to retap all the manifold holes and restud both the head and manifold, but looking good.
Not one useable stud, had to drill a few to get the selector plates out (set to Kerosene and rusted through inside at that)
Extractors wouldn't budge any, soooo drill and tap; make that drill, peal remaining bolt threads from cast and retap. Hairline crack on the exhaust, but a couple welding experts came to the same conclusion as I; as much chance of something going wrong while welding as just running it as is.
Intake was about half plugged on both sides with carbon residue, carb cleaner didn't touch it, but a few soaks and flushes with oven cleaner softened it up. Love watching the bubbles; hate cleaning it out!
Still need to fix up a couple heat sheilds; water injectors are on the way, but plugs will work for now until trying it on Kerosene sometime this summer. Now if it works as good as it looks!
