Any tips for getting rusted on exhaust manifolds off my heads? The exhaust
bolts are out but they are rusted to the heads. I hit it with a lot of PB
blaster and started to use a prybar.. i can get the head off the block.. but
these manifolds aren't budging apart.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Once again it sounds like Ford is only going to fix a few of
the millions of vehicles that this problem affects. I've got
both a 1995 and a 1997 Explorer. The wiper switch on the
1995 was replaced once under warranty and the switch in
the 1997 has been replaced twice under warranty. I can't
help believe that this problem affects all of the mentioned
vehicles from at least 1995 on if not in vehicles built before
that. Ford's logic is probably that most vehicles older than
1999 are out of or are close to being out of warranty so if
they don't cover them under the recall, the owners will have
to pay for the repair even though they probably contain the
same defective switch as the 1999 and 2000 vehicles they
are recalling. Sounds kind of like the lateral front shake
problem the 1991 and 1992 Explorers had. It took until 1995
for Ford to come up with a cure for this problem, but by then
a great majority of the affected vehicles were out of warranty
so if you wanted the problem fixed, all you had to do was
give the dealer $1200.00 and they would install the parts to
fix the problem which was created by Ford's design problem
in the first place.
