Allright one of my exaust manifold studs snapped off so i need some ideas on how to get it out, it would help if this has happened to you. Also where would be the best place to get some replacement bolts when i get it out. Thanks for your help
Oh man, it happened to you too? Which one did it break? The one by the thermostat, I bet. I'll tell you how I fixed mine. I got a drill and drilled a hole right into the broken stud. Then tried an EZ out, which it broke inside the already broken stud! I then drilled in the EZ out, which is harder material than the stud. It was taking too long to drill into the EZ out, I think it's make of like chrome vandium or something. So I did what I could to make my car run again. I drilled kinda sideways into the cyclinder head so it had a pretty deep, but not too deep hole. I then used a tap and die set and made some new threads. And Waa-Lah! The bolt I used is a 10mm, along with 2 square washers and some silicone gasket maker. It's weird cuz all the others are 14mm and only 1 is 10mm. Kinda ghetto, but it works. Oh yeah, make sure you use the hard metal drill bits, cobalt I think. Hope this helps, good luck, and enjoy that header.
