 Should I run the motor to heat up everything first, or cold? Which is less
likely to break the studs?
  the motor is an inline vw ( ABA) with dual downpipe manifold.
I'm "remote" and I can see and hear some exhaust coming past the gasket on
the manifold... I'm not keen on breaking any more of the fasteners...some
have broken before. Thanks
