Hi, I was wondering if anyone ever used the Heat Riser Kit to rebuild their own? Was there any difficulty? Or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to fix a leak at the heat riser? I know there are bushing, but do the exhaust manifolds have to be taken off to be drilled?

What intake manifold do you have? If the crossover is not used you could remove the heat riser and plug the shaft holes in the manifold.

Most likely you would be better off to rebuild the heat riser as I assume you have the stock automatic choke.

This should give you an idea. You should consider a FSM.

Thank you for your help! Just what I was looking for. Maybe your right. I may need a factory service manual.
