please post some pics of your million!

i can better your manifold. when rebuilding the datsun a12 engine, i put the whole block in the oven to dry it and heat it up for painting. i forgot one crucial thing, the heat softened a bit of oil in the galleries and it leaked in the oven!! oh gee, i was damn lucky that the new kitchen wasnt far away and a new oven was on order anyway so i didnt get kicked out that day. engine block in oven wasnt too happy on the normal rack but it didnt fall thankfully

If I even thought about doing something like that I think my life expectancy would be dramatically shortened.

Now why didn't I think of doing that - I need a new oven!

Going in search of oily parts parts in garage!

trouble with opening the oven door is that too often the end product comes out flat.....I should post a piccy of my yorkshire puds

(keep it clean...!)

Get an oven with a glass door, you can be nosey without ruining your cooking!
