Exhaust studs stripped bad...

[TurBoneRed]

I have three stripped exhaust manifold studs, two of them are so bad that the stud just doesnt catch at all, the third just wont tighten, I have know idea where to start...

Buy a helicoil kit m10 x 1.25 I believe, then carefully drill out the holes with the correct size drill bit then tap the holes with the thread tool and put in the new studs. Simple process just be patient and take your time.

Will a kit like this work?

Also what if the hole.is to wide to thread the heli coil into?

Be carefull drilling because the lower center stud is an oil return. Sure hope that stud isnt stripped, If it is id recommend pulling the head off to do it.
