Hi Chandler!
Thanks for your note.
AS soon as the weather warms up (it is still around freezing here in NS) I will start messing with the rig. I have gotten good support from the Ford Truck forum in the past and will address my problem with them

Preston..On my way home from work tonight I was thinking about your question. (I actually DO think sometimes) and I remembered a difference between the 5.4 manifold I did and the V-10's. I think yours is more like a header. It's made of stainless and is welded together. The 5.4's was cast iron. Cast iron expands and contracts differently than stainless and I think that was the problem. I'm not saying yours isn't snapped but it is different. There is a website that is a wealth of knowledge. It's the Ford truck enthusiasts Forum. There are a lot of Ford mechanics there and there's a lot on the broken stud problem.

Let me know if this helps.
