I'm working on one, but I've been kinda lazy about it recently due to other things. I have a bunch of pictures started, but I need to dremel out my old one and redo it before I continue.

the writeup is going to be a little different for you since we have different manifolds. there are a few people on here however that have torn apart the 5.5 manifold and might be willing to lend a hand.

thats what i meant, just said it in a way to give him hope of getting it resolved. seems like the vias could be his culprit according to his other thread.
