[QUOTE=Bomann;3097351]US1 - You are exactly right. This is a pic of my engine. It does have the Merc/Gil Manifolds, they are cracked from my dumb arse move not taking 2 minutes to pull the plugs from them like I always do in the block !

James, it's good to hear the exh. manifolds worked good for you,
I hope the fountain is runnig good again.
