  • manifold bolt starting to strip!

    I noticed i have a leaking manifold last night. I went to tighten up the bolts and a few of them seem to be stripping out on the inside. Is there a product i can use on them or just drill out and tap bigger? I know for spark plugs you can use the heli coil or whatever.

    intake or exhaust? and yea, you can get helicoil kits at most autoparts stores, with the correct drill and tap included.

      Exhaust

      Anyone know what size the exhaust bolt threads are off top their heads? I wonder if i have to remove the exhaust manifold to use the helicoil. I m gonna guess yes.
