So i finally got an uncracked manifold for my rebuilt turbo to put on my rebuilt motor! and guess what happens!!!!!!!! Im screwing down the manifold and the #1 Studs comes right out, doesnt break just strips right out of its hole, wouldnt you think the machine shop would have cought something like this during the rebuild process?
FAQ says i should be able to get a Heli Coil in there, anyone tride this with the manifold bolted down? i really cant afforde to keep putting money into this i need to get it completed, im in over 1K now with all the problems i keep having during the rebuild. I dont want to remove the manifold as ive already gotten the turbo pipe;s connected and i would have to get new seals for that let alone the manifold seals!.
