This morning I met a club member who helped (well, he did it all) weld the patch on the bottom of my grill. I was real happy until I got home and put the insert in. It's off just a bit. :? So now what? I wish I had remembered the insert, not that it would have made much difference. Anyway, I guess I'm going to have to ask him, and show him what's wrong. Luckily, I have a second patch if needed. But that one is fabricated, and not cut from a junk grill like this one is.
My second disappointment is in myself. I was pulling the manifold mounting studs out so I can clean them up. (Turns out a couple are longer? Is that supposed to be like that?) When I replaced my water jacket cover 2 years ago, one of the nuts was seized on the stud and broke it off. So, since I was pulling studs I decided to pull a good one and see if I could replace the missing one, rather than having another bolt there. Stupid decision. I snapped that one off too. Now I have to drill and retap that stud.
Those water jacket studs aren't welded in there, are they? If not, I'm going to get two replacements... after I successfully drill out the remenants of the old one.
