    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have the top end torn down, everything went well except for one broken exhaust bolt, and one valve adjusting bucket that resists movement. I can slowly move it, with much effort, but I cannot get it to come up at all. the other 7 slid right out no problem.

Ive drilled the broken bolt and am going to buy the correct drill and tap tomorrow to finish that off, but is there a good method for removing the dreaded stuck bucket without damaging anything?

I presume I should be able to clean up the parts and relieve the sticking, once its apart.

So how does your wife feel about you puttung the head in her oven upside down, heat to about 250 and serve when it falls out??? 8O
 
heh. luckily for me Ive not got a wife, so the oven is available. hadn't thought of that method, but Ill give her a go tonight.

only two questions- should I marinate it in anything?

and what type of wine goes with baked aluminum?
 
worked like a champ! about 20 minutes in the oven at 250 did it. bucket fell right out. now all I have left before reassembly is to clean the gasket surfaces. thanks ! :)
