      I had to pull the engine on my 1994 K1500 Silverado to drill the broken exhaust manifold bolts to remove and Heli-coil them. While I had it out I replaced all freeze plugs, front and rear main seals, fixed the leaking oil lines, I did the cut and flare fix.. I replaced the intake manifold gaskets and the cracked quick connect heater hose connector. Now this 220,000 mile 350 original engine leaks no water or oil also doesn't burn oil. What a great engine.

    You probably have already fixed it but..... you can take a piece of steel tube that just fits inside that bolt hole. Hold it in the hole and weld through the center of the tube. It protects the threads on the head and gives you something to grab on to get the bolt chunk out.

    We had the same thing happen to a 2018 Ram 1500 Rebel. Outside passenger side with original brakes - about 30k miles (Factory brakes). Heard a grinding noise coming to a stop and the car next to us said something fell off the car. We pulled over and walked back to see and found the metal brake backing plate still smoking and waited a couple of minutes looking for something to pick it up. It had melted itself into the white road paint of the Stop line. Still have it to date. Yes, had to replace front pads and rotors the following day.

    Shearing bolts off in an engine block is one of my worst fears. But i've used a few easy outs on various other projects (industrial vacuum compressors, cryopumps, motorcycles) that I can approach a broken stud with a lot more confidence. And even when there isn't anything to attach to, i've been able to drill out the threaded hole, re-tap for thread quality and continue.
    your reference to fear isn't a bad one, but i've always said that if you fear something, there's a good reason behind it.. at least know what it is before you give up completely.

In all honesty, there was an underlying cause for the 2 broken stud on the same manifold, be it heat/vibration/warped manifold.

    Ah the exhaust stud curse. Doesn't matter what brand, the steel in aluminum ALWAYS has issues. You get real good at welding onto the broken stud. I ended up welding a washer first, then the nut. I think the heat from welding is what breaks the corrosion free, most times they just spin right out after welding.

    At least I see that this happens to pretty all of the engines out there! I had a 1994 F250 with a 460, lost two of the exhaust bolts on the passenger side. After complete disassembly, was able to drill out the bolts and chase the threads in the head!! the 460's didn't use gaskets!! machined surfaces! Checked with a straight edge, looked good, put back together with new Grade 8 bolts!! Did just fine for the next couple of years till trade in time!! Enjoy your videos Ray! Keep up the great work!! Stay safe! Tell Troy he needs to smile at the camera!!

    Busted exhaust manifold bolts in these engines are so common that I wonder if high quality studs & stainless steel nuts with anti seize & washers are a viable alternative.
    Fortunately for me, being a Mopar man, I have never encountered this problem. [crosses fingers for luck]

      My Dodge Ram 2005 diesel truck did not break exhaust bolts in the head, BUT, the manifold shrank causing extreme hardship in turning out the bolts. Shrinking cast iron exhaust manifolds are a thing with Dodge Cummins. I ground bolt holes to make it fit to the head again. Looked at getting a new SS exhaust manifold if I could not make it fit ok again.

      @KB100L Jeep Grand Cherokees are known for breaking the same exhaust manifold bolts in their Mopar 4.7’s and 5.7’s. Just give it time.

    • @KB10GL
      @KB10GL ปีที่แล้ว

      I have never been a fan of bolts in softer material such as aluminium alloy, particularly cast alloy. The gods [engineers] invented studs for a reason. They can save sooo much grief. If a nut is actually seized on a stuck stud, then a nut splitter can save the day. Nuts are cheap.

    a comparison of rotars would of been good to see as i could see one was worn down more than the other side... question is did the previous mechanic fail to install both pads or did it completely disintergrate? or did the owner try to replace them and didnt bother with the second plate?

    • @TheCorpsehatch
      @TheCorpsehatch ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The backing plate for the pad is even missing. The pad looks like was never installed at all or if it was it was installed incorrectly and fell out.

    @ 12:27 bottom left part of the frame, there is a notch that is accessible prior to removing the fender wheel skirt, You can place your hook to hang the caliper. Most cars and trucks have these notches available. There is another one far right as well. just in case your not diving in deeper than you have to.

    That trucks been neglected on repairs for quite a while.
    Back in 2003 i had a customer bring his 86 v6 ford ranger to my shop, said it was over heating. On inspection, i realized one of the head gaskets was blown. The head gasket had been blown for a long....long time. As i was disassembling the heads from the block, and removing the spark plugs, a spark plug from the back on the drivers side by the firewall under the brake booster (which is always the hardest to get to on most rear wheel drive vehicles as well as not a lot of people even bother replacing that one.) was pure rust welded in the cylinder head, (that's where the head gasket was leaking coolant into the cylinder at) needless to say, the spark plug broke off at the base, and spent an extra 11 hours getting the rest of it out, and rethreading the spark plug hole before i even got to installing the new head gaskets.
