Re: [DML] Re: Broken Exhaust Manifold Stud NIGHTMARE! Please Help ...

[Enid/Jeremiah <hispanicangeleyes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, this was a secret that Casey and I did, but you
seem to be in quite a jam so I'll let you know what we
did.  I had a stud break in the block very similar to
your situation.  As Bill suggested, there are other
holes in the block along with other holes in the
replacement exhaust manifold gaskets that line up with
those holes in the block .  What Casey and I did, we
got a piece of metal (I think steel or iron) and
drilled a hole in it similar in size to the holes in
the engine block.  Then we took that piece of metal
and welded it to the exhaust manifold so that it acted
as an "extension".  Now that we had this extra piece
on the manifold, we could utilize the extra holes in
the block, and we just left that broken stud in the
original hole.  Worked perfectly; the "extension"
piece is even the same color as the exhaust manifold,
and it looks great.  Whatever the exhaust manifolds
are made of..that's what the "extension piece' is made
of.  

In fact, come a year from now at PR, I invite all of
you to climb under my engine and try to find it. 
You'll see how well it blends together with the
exhaust manifold.
