Hi all, on the 235 heat riser does anyone no how the pin that stops the spring from turning is in the manifold, mine is rusted or broken off? If you look on inside of manifold you can see pin on this side, tried to tap back through to outside but doesn't move. Is it threaded? p.s. its not the pin that holds spring its the pin that stops spring to apply tension. Thanks Mike

The pin is a press fit, so you can either drill it out, heat the protruding piece with a torch and pull it out with vise grips, or just drill another hole beside it and drive in an appropriate-sized pin. A small fraction of an inch difference in location isn't going to make a noticeable difference in the way the heat riser operates.

Just a FYI, I had the manifolds separated and I see the hole for the pin goes all the way through and I was able to tap the pin out as it was a press fit.
