[V8] O2 R&R

[Tony and Lillie]

Mike,

Small propane torch. That makes it so much easier, and chances of leaving 
threads in the downpipe become much less. You want to heat the downpipe, not 
the O2. I usually leave it sitting under there for a minute or so. That way, 
it expands away from the O2 and it should come out fairly easily. They have 
for me, anyhow.
