So I have the HEs installed and the muffler too.
I went top side to install the intake manifolds. I got the driver side in, but when I went to do the passenger side, I got this:  That silvery stuff on the intake stud is aluminum. I didn't over torque it, it never got tight at all. So the question is, am I fuched or can I relatively easily fix this? TIA |

DO NOT DRILL TOO DEEP.
Or you will be seriously Fucked..... If you choose to do this in the car. Run a piece of plastic or brass pipe just a hair bigger than your drill bit OVER YOUR DRILL BIT so that the bit will only allow a preset depth to be drilled. (CYA mechanics) It is IMPERATIVE you don't drill too deep. I have a 70 degree drill that might work in this application. AS in this pic.... Close quarter drill If'n ya need it. You can borrow it. It isn't very powerful. And you would have to take your time. But it WILL get in there to drill out those stud holes. (I think) And I agree with the fella above that suggested TIME CERTS. They are superior to most conventional inserts. Cheers, Clayton |
