She may not be a virgin
 

Started pulling the drivers side exhaust manifold (leak at center section) got the two center bolts out and it looks like I may not be her first. First bolt had a 1/8" thick washer, what I would have expected. the second had a larger diameter 1/16" sheetmetal washer[:o]. Looks like Bubba may have violated her before I knew her.:(Weather got bad, I will have to finish tomorrow. On the bright side 2 out of 2 didnt break.

It is amazing to see the things that others have done, wonder if the owner did it or did he pay someone at a shop? PG.https://www.corvetteforums.com/micons/m9.gif

I hope he paid someone and that was the only trip to THAT shop.
I have lots of receipt where P.O. would buy his own parts then receipts where he paid to have parts installed. This work looks a lot older than his owning the car. part if the threads are actually burned/rusted away.

It's bad when you do some half-assed fixing on you car, you need a good WHOOPIN'. But when you pay someone to do some half-assed fixing on your car, you both need a WHOOPIN', you for bringing it to the jerk, and him for doing the half-assed work.
Either do it right, or research and bring it to a reputable shop.

A long time ago I was told

"Do a job, big or small, do it right or not at all".

Actually, It's easier to do it right than it is to do it wrong.
