Help!
I can't get the maniflod screws out of my NMT. The manifold has dirt in it and i don't want to run a new engine with a second hand dirty manifold (it was half the price of a new one). The cross pattern has turned into a circle, i have one out but the other is stuck; any suggestions?

Heat the engine up a little and should help. You can start it for a a short time without getting up to full temps and burning your fingers. From what I have read on other issues heating it up helps when removing hard to remove parts.

Just a thought.

you can try turning it by hand with pliers.....
