So the continuing saga of fitting the SS heat exchangers continue. I somehow pulled out the heli coil repair on the exhaust stud. The coil measures 9.5mm OD.
I suppose I need to re-tap the hole with a step stud. So what size step stud should I use ?? M8 to (M10 or M11) ? Where would I find such a stud ? Is it do-able, drilling and tapping from under the engine ? How the heck am I going to keep the bit and tap straight and not F/up ? Man it never ends with old cars...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Thanks in advance for everyones help !!!! I really appreciate it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I've done this same repair on my car and its been holding fine. I made do with what I had handy. I used an M10 time cert and then an M8 into the M10. I don't use studs, I use 993 pressure plate bolts with the tri-square head. It really helps if you have the car up on a lift so you are not working on your back. Go slow with the drill and match the other stud for the angle. Don't drill too deep. I also always use red locktite with to install time certs. Good luck. In my case, if it pulls out then I'll remove the head and have it welded but its been working great. Use a torque wrench.
