1986 Subaru turbo Brat wont idle

Can you please make notes all over your forums of the following

running an upper engine cleaner through the engine getts rid of rough engine idle it makes a huge difference

if you are getting a nosie which sounds like something like a vibration when you speed up change gear or slow down its the upper & lower exhaust heat sheilds they crack around the bolts that hold them togther only way to stop this is to weld them togehter there is to ways to do it on is to weld them together & worry about it next time the mainfold has to come off

the second is too pull them both off '& do it properly
the first time the differeence is about 3 horus labour

please plasster this all over your siite as i've noticed people whanting help on both of these problems
