bucketep91 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I've been out all nite fitting my new mani, it was a nightmare lol im no good at all this stuf haha, the 2 middle bolts at the top wer fouling the 2nd and 3rd runners and i just managed to get them on then when it came to the four turbo to mani bolts i couldnt get the mani and turbo to sit flush together because i was stupid and never put the bolts into the mani first to line the turbo up i tried to just screw them rite up from the bottom, from the turbo upwards and now theyre stuck in and i cant get them any tighter, i tried taking the nuts back off to get the bolts out or even in a bit more but couldnt move them so theres still a little gap in there and if i tighten it anymore im going to sheer the nuts. I've had to put everything back together, im never touching the car again! if anything needs done im puttin it in a garage! how will the bolts come back out will they need to be drilled? its only 2 that are in the back right and front left.

ToyotaTech15 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Not sounding to good,If I was closer I would give you hand.From what you said I think you should loosen the boltsthat hold the manifold on to the head and spray some wd-40 or rust treament, you also get this freeze spray which freezes the bolt to like -40 degrees,Maybe try working the bolts back and forward slowly and try winding them out slowly, hope this helps abitGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
