July 3, 20242 yr #1 Hi guys, new to these forums and just picked up a BA as a project with a bit of an exhaust leak. I’ve had a look at the manifold bolts and it seems that 2 will snug but never tighten, I have purchased a new gasket and some studs to replace the bolts but just wondering if there is something else I will need to do first with the holes or what? cheers.
July 3, 20242 yr #2 You can try to fit the studs but they might just pull straight out when you tighten them. If that is the case then you pull the manifold off, helicoil them and that will be sorted.
