Broken Exhaust manifold bolts.

[ceurieusneus]

If you have 10 mm bolt outside the block, I would go for welding a nut on it to.

I only have a stick welder. and little experance

There is also a problem also. My electrics comes from a neighbors house with over 150m of normal cable. I had thought I was crap at welding until I tried it at a friends house and it worked so much better.

I have though blob welded a few things here some of which broke.

If the manifold is off, take it to your local small garage or engineer. They can't charge much to weld a nut on and if it fails they may have another idea.

If you have to drill them, be careful, as the bolts are somewhat harder than the block casting and it's easy to have the drill wander.

i think snapon or bluepoint easyouts used to come with a guide ? which stopped you going off course when drilling. If its a di there bolts not studs with the exception of the early turbo which i think had one stud on number 4 cyl ?
