I've been putting this off, one weekend I was sick, the next was Petit le Mans, it's time to do this!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I have "new" heat exchangers, will be getting a new muffler tomorrow. I have a heat exchanger hardware kit, should it only have 6 bolts??? I figured it would be eight. But I don't know. About getting the exhaust off without breaking studs... Someone suggested using a blowtorch and impact wrench, shoud they be glowing hot, or about how hot? Everytime my car is in the shop they're drilling out exhaust studs, should that mean that they have all been fixed well enough to hold, or is it more likely that I'll be drilling them out as well? and if so, how do I do that???

I have the proper copper coated bolts and everything....
But, why are there only six? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

sounds like you got the kit for holding the stock muffler to the other end of the heaterboxes, there are 6 studs out of a stock muffler. The hardest part is putting the heaterbox back up and keeping the copper gaskets in place. The pushrod tubes will try to knock them off. I've used copper silicone, but you have to wait until it dries. Then there is making sure they actually are sealed. This is what I use for that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.914club.com-11782-1287197301.1.jpg) Attached image(s) |
