Y'all may remember I pulled my cylinder head a few weeks ago, snapping one of the head bolts in the process. Well while waiting for the head to return from the shop I was pressure washing the intake manifold to get off all the 16 years worth of filth. When the wand went past the throttle opening I heard this nice resonant base, like blowing over a big whiskey jug! Perhaps make a great prop for the Blue Man Group.
