I noticed the manifold bolts are sawed off. The front one taped out with some help from a hammer. The back one is very tight . Been a few days with deep creep soaking but nothing yet. Question . Would these have been threaded from factory ? If so i will be drilling it out i guess.

Pretty much a sawed off bolt. You don't need to remove them.

Seems to me they maybe threaded but i can't seem to recall. At least one has been drilled maybe by the p/o and i have the bolt out. The other bolt is either threaded or rusted in tighter than i have ever seen. And thats saying something.

It one/both were drilled out you could use a hardened bolt that fits through the hole in the manifold. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 84 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 84 | Ok that makes sense. The one is drilled out already. And the other looks like i need to do the same. Thanks for the help guys. Keep on truckin... | | |
