bitcrusher Member 38 Member For: 3y 9m 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/06/20 08:57 AM Share Posted 27/06/20 08:57 AM When I removed exhaust manifold to change engine mount I noticed 1 bolt had been changed for a longer as due to a threaded hole though I tightened it to much and its I <3 Bananased, also the same with another bolt. So I have 2 threaded holes which are minced and was thinking about fixing and replacing with studs? Whats the longest bolt I can put into the head. Some suggestions and information would be appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you'd be able to do it the way you're suggesting without creating other potential problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
