I have a couple of quick questions.

I have some coil overs, but they are seized. What is the best method of unseizing them?

Also, while I was changing my water pump gasket, I lost the radiator cap. I know, but shit happens. I bought some caps from auto zone, but after driving a while, the coolant goes into the reservoir and doesn't go back down until the car has cooled down considerably. Biggest headache ever. So, I got the highest level psi auto zone sold, but I think the size of the gasket is incorrect. Basically, how do I get a working cap? BTW, I was told by the previous owner that it is not an OEM radiator.

One more question. I need to change my exhaust manifold gasket, but the sensor that goes into the engine is in the way, which to take off is blocked by the heat shield. Should I just cut the wire? and do I need the heat shield in my engine bay or can I go wihtout it?
