Exhaust Manifold Bolts Gone
I was thinking about getting some headers for the truck so I checked to see how hard they are to get to. I noticed that the bolt/stud that holds the bracket for the coil pack (passenger side) and the bolt/stud that holds the bracket for the dip stick had sheared off.
Pictures below:
Driver's Side
Passenger's Side
Any ideas?

i wouldn't see any problem with taking the manafold off and welding a nut to it to get the stud out......
and FYI, my rule of thumb is, if you remove the manafold bolts, replace them, don't reuse them......they get so how and weaken the metal, and then the forces that you put on them when you remove and install them make it worse.....manafold bolts are cheap and easy to find...
