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 |

Surprised nobody mentioned JBWeld. This is a stud, so you don't need to reform the threads like you would if this was a bolt. Just JBWeld this stud back into the hole (after cleaning off the aluminum stuck in the threads of course).

Just JBWeld this stud back into the hole (after cleaning off the aluminum stuck in the threads of course). I'd be happy to JB weld it in place if that will keep it there. I am concerned that it won't last. I am not expecting a 100k miles on this motor. I'd be happy with about 15k miles. I want to build a new one at some point as well. |
