Re: Exhaust manifold sag
Stress on the exhaust manifold when heated will contribute to warping, but most of the warping is due to the cast iron growing when heated.
Old model airplane engines had cast iron pistons and no rings. One trick to restore compression in a worn engine was to heat the pistons so that they expanded a bit and would fit tighter in the cylinders when cooled back down to room temperature.
