    Broken manifold bolts

    as you and shurkey said cut them off i think i will do that for the other 6 on the passenger side. but the doorman kit comes with the two studs that you need for alternater bracket as well and its only 6$ on amazon with prime. i just can believe how hard this was to track down, and i consider...

    Broken manifold bolts

    i thought about replacing head bolts but the guy at machine shop said not to worry about them. also the haynes just said to clean old bolts and apply sealer. cleaned old ones with a die to get all the old sealer and stuff off. also went through all the bolt holes with a tap. i know alot of...

    Broken manifold bolts

    damn lol thats alot. and i agree about the heads. i have been seriously debating a vortec head swap with the aftermarket intake to match. but in all reality i was wanting to just throw this head back on without doing any machine work to it. just get the broken manifold bolts out, then i would...

    Broken manifold bolts

    Broken manifold bolts

    okay guys, i went to remove the exhaust manifolds today and all the bolts came out fine except the last two closest to the firewall on the passenger side. both snapped but with a little thread still remaining. i tried drilling them and using a easy out but there is not much room for my drill...

    Need a new Y pipe..

    not sure how i put that in quote. awesome thanks, thats pretty much what i was thinking is it has something to do with where the cat is located. since mine has no cat it doesnt matter, so the 88-93 should work as well. okay thanks for the responses and now im confident with going ahead with the...

    Need a new Y pipe..

    i had mentioned that idea to my exhaust guy, he said the labor would probably equal out to about the same and he suggest getting the y pipe.

    Need a new Y pipe..

    the main part that needs replaced is where it connects to manifolds. its so corroded you cant even get a socket on there and its leaking pretty bad. where the two pipes come together at the actual y part, is not in that bad of shape. but just want to replace it and not have to worry about it for...
