"Win or loss?" Thread

[Rix86]

My personal:

I got the goddamned manifold off. Destroyed it to do so.
Win or loss?
Not sure

Double win. You conquered an inanimate object and now you have a reason to upgrade to a performance part.

Some of my best victories have been over inanimate objects!! I can relate.

What's it off Of? And why did you have to bust it to get it off

Force 120 power head from the boat.
Galvanic corrosion. Bolts "welded" to inside of bolt holes in manifold.
Had to get next to them for their length for release.

That's a loss. You lose.

Not to say you won't pull out of it with money, skill (knowledge) and time.

Break out some billet, the cordless drill, and a welder, and bang something together.

Fabrication saves the nation.

It is just a hunk of metal.

I call it a victory for man, and defeat for corrosion.
