Re: Manifold Studs 200 83

posted by  someone claiming to be john on  Tue Oct 30 02:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

If one or more of the exhaust manifold studs are broken, include the cost of R&Ring the head and having a machine shop extract/replace broken studs in deciding what to pay for this car. I've seen these things weld themselves to the head and when this happens this is about the only way to get them out.

OTOH, if the price of the car* is adjusted for this cost, then it's no reason to nix the deal. On a car this old, you'd probably want to do a valve job anyway. When you reassemble the exhaust manifold/turbo unit, use lots of high-temp anti-seize compound and don't exceed the factory torque specs for these studs. Re-torque every 10K.

* labor time for R&Ring the exhaust manifold is more than for most cars because the turbocharger is removed with the manifold.
