As title says, I have an exhaust leak because one of my stud holes in the case is stripped and will not hold. Tried loctite red, but didn't hold with tightening. Also, wasn't sure it would hold with the heat. Thought about JB weld but then reconsidered.
I know I can tap to a larger diameter but wondering if others have had a similar issue and what you would recommend. Any guidance would be helpful. Case is for 1971 1.7L. |

Step stud or timesert only, and once fixed 18 lbs torque only.
If your exhaust is still leaking it's not the stud, the gasket is cocked, tube ears are bent, tubes ends are not square, etc. Resist the temptation of over torquing the exhaust nut, it's a recipe for disaster. |
