Stripped manifold bolt. Well I was checking the torques on my manifold bolts today.
I just installed these headers about 3 weeks ago. All were pretty tight.
Except on in the middle on the drivers side. There are two in almost the same spot. Directly in the middle.
I got my 10mm and was just giving them a like twist. Not enough to make them turn but enough to turn it if it was backing out.
This one turned like it wasn't even in there. And practically fell out in my hand
Thats what you get for not torquing them yourself. I had a guy assisting me at the hobby shop.
Well. I'm gonna go buy a local shop sometime this week to see how much it will be to fix it.
