I am building my 186 EFI motor and have put the head on and put the inlet manifold on without a hitch then went to put the extractors that came off the motor back on and they dont line up any more the 2 ends have somehow been pushed inwards it seems,
what can i do? are they repairable or stuffed? it seems a waist to throw them out but i dunno what to do about it,
any suggestions?
