StanMan Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Does anyone know the size & thread pitch of the 4 studs which hold the turbo housing to the manifold for a standard CT9? Gasket has started to blow and it's currently held in with 4 M10 S/S setpins with spring washers. Quote
StanMan Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) M10 X 1.25 Cheers Colin, whats the best way to make sure they stay held in place due to the temperatures they are exposed to? Brass/copper locking nuts? Edited January 23, 2017 by StanMan Quote
Starlet__SR Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Aerotite locking nuts. Used in aerospace, rail, marine, military. Quote
StanMan Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) So just to clarify, some M10 x 1.25 x 37mm overall length studs (19mm / 9mm / 10mm) & some aerotite locking nuts will get the job done properly. I cant get to my car atm to measure manifold depth, it's just a mild steel tubular one (not sure of which make). Edited January 23, 2017 by StanMan Quote
5e colin Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 i always use normal nuts 1s tight they never loosen if they do you didnt tighten it hard enough in the first place Quote
StanMan Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Just checked and it has M10 x 1.50 setpins in, bizarre, threads must have been re-tapped. Just gonna use stainless setpins again and nordlock washers. Edited January 25, 2017 by StanMan Quote
