Re: ‘36 fordor project videos
Good videos, Mike! Damn you work fast, though. Did that later engine come out of the car, or is it one that you have destined to eventually go into the '36? Those front exhaust manifold bolts are SUPPOSED to be larger vs the two rear ports. The larger ones are 7/16" bolts that require a 5/8" socket to remove.
It's a shame you broke that exhaust bolt. I could see that it showed signs of possibly breaking when you first found it to be so tight. It's possible that you may run across one or more of the head bolts that act the same way. If you encounter one that seems tighter than the rest (likely frozen), I normally try to gingerly move the bolt just barely in the opposite direction (tightening) to see if it may help to break it free. If it does break free, cycle the bolt back and forth (loosening/tightening) in small, but ever increasing increments until it feels loose enough to turn on out. Saves a lot of grief sometimes to invoke a little patience. We're gonna enjoy following along with you. DD
