      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.

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.

    There seems like there really should be a better option for those manifold bolts. I put headers on my car recently, and was so incredibly thankful that the bolts didn't break off. Having said that, the concern is that if I ever have to maintenance on them for some reason, that the increased heat and time on the head will be problematic. Great work Ray!

    I know your pain Ray, I had that same bolt break off on my 5.3 and had the fun task of welding a nut to it about 20 times before it finally held on enough to back it out.

    @2WatchAndComment 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I've seen a youtube video where a guy used a steel tube small enough to go in and then stuck the welding wire inside the tube and welded the inside of the tube to the bolt and removed the balance of the bolt. I'm sure he sprayed prior to the welding to give himself better chances of success.

  • @denniss5512
    @denniss5512 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    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.

    • @TheBibliofilus
      @TheBibliofilus 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      One of those small modern induction heaters with wired loop inserts to just heat the bolt you want is a lifesaver on exhausts. You can oil soak it and then heat in cycles and then it'll be an easy job.

  • @stephenvale2624
    @stephenvale2624 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I feel your pain. I had a simple hydraulic brake line replacement (on my suburban) turn into a nightmare, simply because the attaching bolt was cross threaded at the factory and wound up wasting an entire day cutting it out in teeny weeny pieces.
    I went out and bought a Harbor Freight air chisel the next day...

  • @davidweaver4702
    @davidweaver4702 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have experienced the same frustration of broken off stud, and it's always in the most difficult place. In all honesty, there was an underlying cause for the 2 broken stud on the same manifold, be it heat/vibration/warped manifold. But that just all added together with what looks likely to have been a very poor quality fastener that ruined your afternoon.
    Thanks for another highly interesting video 👏👌

  • @kevinblakley7622
    @kevinblakley7622 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Ray, I have dealt with the BAD GM bolts in the exhaust manifolds many times and if you or any of your followers want the corrective action is to use exhaust studs and nuts for a GM 3.1 since there is not a stud kit for the 5.3-6.2 ls from GM!!

  • @KB10GL
    @KB10GL 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    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]

    • @scottdowney4318
      @scottdowney4318 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.

    • @Kashed
      @Kashed 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @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 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

  • @aljole683

    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

      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.

    Hey Ray. When I was turning wrenches, I always expected to have at least one broken bolt when removing an exhaust manifold. If it didn't happen, then I felt lucky. Also, I saw that your swivel is worn out. There's a lot of movement before it actually is able to torque. Don't forget about the Subaru!

    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!!
