I just took off my 4kq EM and it was BADLY cracked. This car has been
pampered and has just 100K on it now.. so youre right, cracking isnt
just for turbo cars!!  All my exhaust hangers were still intact as well.

In fact Im STILL trying to get off the lower stud for #4 cyl. Geez, what
were they thinking??!?!??!
