  1. How far does the "its not sold unless I have cash in my hand" Extend? Friday arvo i spot an air compressor advert on gumtree, advert been up for 2hrs, i sent a message on gumtree to confirm it was available, guy gets back to me quite quick says yep. so i call him up, nice enough guy, I tell him im at work 2hrs away and wasnt sure what time i would be home but i would like to buy it could i pick it up on saturday at 9am? dude sais yep not an issue, he gives me his address, we realise he is 3 streets away, we have a bit of a chuckle, all good. I make a comment i hope it fits in the car, he offers to deliver it to me, i said i should be ok. all is good i hang up happy i got a compressor. 30mins later, "sorry, its been sold already" Thinking maybe he meant the message for someone else I rang him back, same dude aswers but commpletely different attitude, i say hey we just spoke about the compressor but you sent me a message saying it sold was it a mistake? He sais no its not sold until the cash is in my hand, someone just came and picked it up. I'll be honest i was kinda half in shock at what i was hearing and sort of gave a bit of a rude comment and hung up. Yes it was just an air compressor, yes it was only 200bucks, but daaaayymm is this how people operate? I understand some people might not turn up after organising to a time but do you just ignore the verbal contract. no "hey someone just called and is coming tomorrow but if he doesnt take it you are second in line" He ran a business too, guess where i'm not getting my metal signs made....ever.

  2. Aftermarket extractors have an advantage that they are separate from the inlet manifold, & pull up to the head independently. However, the flange tips of the inlet manifold & extractors can be different depths, making it difficult to get a thick washer to pull down firmly, & parallel to the head. You could probably grind down the thicker flange tip on the outside to match. If you have a standard setup, then the inlet & exhaust manifolds are bolted together, with 4 off bolts. If you can loosen these slightly (good luck), then pull the manifolds up to the head, (without gasket) then tighten the 4 off bolts holding the manifolds together. Remove the manifolds from the head, & they should now be in the same plane, across the mounting faces. The problem with this suggestion is that the 4 off bolts will be so tight in the threaded section, (which is in the exhaust manifold), that they will break off, whilst trying to undo them, & then you have the need to drill them out & retap them.
