Gentlemen, Gentlemen, 10 paces and face about, and come out shooting! Geesh!!!
All this talk about thermocouplers, pyro gauges.....bla bla bla..........how many stock Deuce and a Halfs have them???? and how many have blown engines????
Now how many "upgraded" engines with pyros have you seen with blown up blocks, probably a lot more in this catagory right?
Sounds like DRIVER ERROR!!!!! Not the engine.
Enough................start it up, drive it, let er cool for a few and turn it off. Class dismissed! (along with this tyrade please.......)

Question-- just how hard is it to remove the turbo mounting bolts on the exh. manifold? anyone's tales of this would be welcome! intake looks easy - no heat no rust.
