stripped out exhaust manifold stud

robertsws · 09-17-2009, 10:39 PM

OK so I stripped out the head where one of my exhaust studs bolts in. I just wanted to get some ideas on ways to fix it. I know the proper way to do it I suppose but I am lacking tapping tools, inserts, etc. Anyone got a cheap fix.
It's the centermost stud. dead center.

Don't do a cheap fix. One of the performance Supra aftermarket suppliers has a good quality kit to replace these bolts as the OEM bolts strip far too easily and far too often. I'll look around and see which place it was which carries them.

Thanks, I found the kit at driftmotion for $70 + $15 for standard UPS shipping.

I have the same issue - how did the kit from DriftMotion work out for you ? Thanks.
