Tomorrow morning I'm taking my distillate manifold out of the electrolysis tank. It's been in there roughly two weeks. (Mainly because I've been so busy I haven't had time to take it out)
Saturday afternoon I'm taking it to a guy who restores tracts so we can apply heat, and try to work the heat valve loose. The guy told me he's never been successful in getting one unstuck, and has broken them. But he's never tried with an IH manifold before.
Before I do that, I want to make sure I have the steps down.
- Take the manifld out of the tank and dry as much as I can with towels. Stick in the oven at 200 degrees for a bit to dry it.
- Hit the parts that are supposed to move with PB Blaster. Repeat hitting them throughout the day.
- Apply torch heat to the areas that are supposed to move. (How hot should I let them get?)
- Let them cool. (Should I hit them with air to cool them faster, using the change in density to break it loose? Or will that just break it?)
- Use very gentle pressure, and tap at the handle to try to get it to break loose. (Should I do that while it's hot, or after it cools, or both?)
