Mavrik Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 That's a bummer! I always use Ceratec on all my fasteners for this reason lol. A bit of heat paired with some Easy Outs should hopefully do the trick 😬 Good luck fella 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futureechos Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So for the uninitiated (me) & Out of interest - what was the process here? Do you heat up as this helps getting the snapped bolts out with easy outs? Once out is the heat to melt a lower melting point metal (rather the metal than the manifold itself!) and fill the gap so you can tap a new threat into them?? I'm a bit confused by pic - the metal looks melted and the comment 'filled' looks like it's been filled like it has been cast..? Never done this and interested.... seems like it might a useful skill for Porsche bolts in my future at some point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've drilled out the broken fastners, cleaned and then refilled the holes with a lower melting alloy. I'll then redrill and tap to make good.

I'm no mechanic, can service myself etc, but useful to know if I'm ever in this position and feel brave. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out really well. 👌 Some nice fabbing fella 👍 In a similar situ on another car I had to drill out using cobalt bits but I Helicoiled instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
