i am at the end of my threads
tried to for the last week and a half to get four siezed exhaust manifold bollts out of my caddys head, got 2 of them but i have so far fairly butchered the other two, i have used heat , drilled them out twisted off 2 ese outs in each one wrecked about a dozen good drill bits and now have come to the decision they are not to be coming out dont know what else to do . any suggestions out there . they just wont drill out to a larger amount and any drill bit i can get other than a really expensiver 1/8 bit would not toutch them , they just come out like powder and then the bits dulls and you dont make any headway. i am ready to bolt the cast manifold back on with new gaskets and some good sealant and live without 2 bolts and see what happens
any suggestions??
i dont know what else to do.
two of the rear bolts were broke off before and it blew the rear gasket as it was old. i now have at least one bolt in the rear gasket and can get some squeeze on the gaskets.
That's funny about calling out the car models going by, that's one of my early memories sitting on a bus stop bench with my mom enthusiastically calling out the cool cars going by, I was about 4 or 5...
How did you get hooked on cars?
