Hi All, Happy 4th Holiday! Does anybody have some advice on what appears to be a stripped out exhaust stud hole? I replaced my manifold gaskets last weekend and encountered one stud that was stripped. I replaced it with one from an Autozone 'Help' kit, but there doesn't seem to be any meat in the head to tighten it into. I'm finding a some coolant on the bolt under there. I picked up a heli coil repair kit and was going to tackle this tomorrow (patriotic, working on my big American car on the 4th of July!) Is there anything I should be aware of in this task? any sealers recommended? Thanks in advance for any guidance Best to All Jack 73 Lebaron 81 Imperial (garage queen) ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
