Intake manifold removal I'm screwed

Pussiwillow · 11-01-2020, 03:11 PM

Well removing the intake bolts pulled threads from the head on a cold engine
REMOVING them
I don't even know wtf to do now

Pussiwillow · 11-01-2020, 03:13 PM

Can I cry
Is that acceptable lol

Pussiwillow · 11-01-2020, 03:15 PM

How tho

Pussiwillow · 11-01-2020, 03:23 PM

Anyone know the stud size
I'm gonna go to a hardware store and see if I can run a stud down there after cleaning the threads up and loctite and use a nut

Pussiwillow · 11-01-2020, 05:13 PM

Plot twist
I was able to catch the remaining threads and got it torque down; however gonna order a stud and epoxy/loctite it in place or the like when I have a chance

If I recall correctly they looked like a M8x1.25 thread pitch.

Interested in what job you were trying to do when this fiasco ensued...

Pussiwillow · 11-01-2020, 06:54 PM

Oil filter housing gasket
You have to remove intake manifold enough to shift it over and out a few inches to get to a tough bolt on the housing.
Bolt was stiff the entire time, nothing I could do but pull it at that point; looks to have seized to the threads of the head oddly
Not cross threaded, as there's 6 remaining threads or so in the head and bolt still perfect
Freak thing I guess
Sucks but I'll replace it with a stud like the remaining ones have; and it'll be good
Just irritated
It's buttoned you, priming the water pump and oil pump as we speak

Super easy job, just lame a freak thing happened :/

I couldn't find it either, I pulled my coil connectors and just primed it
Probably washed the walls down with fuel but it's better than not priming it I guess ha
1k miles she's doing good

In the shop, I would clean the aluminum off those studs, and re-use them.
