All of the above is true; however keep in mind this is also just a Vue with street driven miles. In my experience it's unusual to see a large amount of taper or uneven wear side to side on a normally...

Ahh. Yeah, a crush washer will not work. They are used in conjunction with a smooth, flat surface perpendicular to the hole's axis. You would not be able to create one smooth enough with a grinder,...

A steel or iron plug will be fine in a tapered pipe thread joint.

I don't know what temp the spray you've got is rated for, or how hot the manifold casting gets during operation, so it's hard to say. My concern would be goop melting away and doing something to the...

An angle grinder with a thin cutoff blade will work just fine. You need a metal cutting blade for whatever size grinder you have, you can get it at any hardware store.

I'd rather not make a specific repair recommendation like that, since I don't own one of these cars and I've never even seen the part in question.

You don't have to preheat cast iron, but it's definitely helpful. And if you preheat a part, you want to do it uniformly.. not just focus a blowtorch flame on the spot you're gonna weld.

Also check line interference/extension while steering lock-to-lock.
