The $4,000.00 exhaust stud

[Dave Head <dhead@sundial.sundial.net>]

Went snoopin' today after installing my new breather hose (25.00 - Linda).
On removing the wastegate shield I found the source of my noisy exhaust -
broken/missing exh stud on the top side of #5. The only way that suckers
coming outa there is with a Ned/2 piece manifold, new turbo, 3" downpipe,
new lifters and oil lines 'cause I been in there once to put a turbo in and
I ain't going back except one more time. Sigh. Guess it'll be spitting at
startup fer quite awhile...
Jeff, let me know when you buy that house...
