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 |

I'll likely do the timesert, but I can't tell by the web page which kit to get.
Anyone have any guidance with this? |

QUOTE(KaptKaos @ Oct 8 2007, 01:39 PM)  I'll likely do the timesert, but I can't tell by the web page which kit to get. Anyone have any guidance with this? I first retapped the hole out to 9mm, but it pulled again. So I ended up using the 9mm x 1.25 kit to tap it out and insert for a 9mm/8mm step-stud. You probably want the 8mm x 1.25 kit. These guys have the kit, as well as studs and step-studs (if you should go for the 9mm kit for extra strength.). http://www.belmetric.com/html/catalog15.htm Jim |
