I finally got the car in the air to investigate an exhaust leak. Thank you for all of the lift advice, the QuickJack seems to be working great!
Looks like i am missing a bolt. Nothing to attach the nut to, so my question is what to do next? Looking at this picture, does this look like a broken part? perhaps there are threads in there? Assistance please. |

********UPDATE********
Took the manifold off - cannot believe how easy things are with the QuickJack! Seems that the hole has threads - cannot figure out of those are inserts or the original threads??????? Seems that there are 7 good threads, dirty but solid. How deep are these holes supposed to be? Also, how damaged is the valve from running hot? Where do i order the studs? Long shot of the hole and valve Angle shot to show threads Straight shot - does the hole for the stud go into the exhaust gas chamber? Clean out the hole? |

I was thinking that it looked like maybe someone already put a timecert in there and maybe drilled too far. Either way, there shouldn’t be a hole through to the chamber. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
