kilo6 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hello all , is it possible or reccomended practice to replace only one broken exhaust manifold bolt on an ASERT 427. I have a broken bolt on the upper left side of the turbo. It seems we may be able to extract it without tearing out the manifold. Just wondering if i should replace all the bolts. tks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30112-exhaust-manifold-bolt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorse54 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi,I would replace all the studs and gaskets. Use stainless steel studs when you do the job and be sure the exhaust pipe off of turbo is secured to bracket on bell housing.That will eliminate alot of stress on manifold and turbo mounting bolts/studs.

kilo6 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks Steve, I was thinking of taking it to my favourite shop which happens to be six hundred miles from me. That is why i wanted to do a quick repair here at home then do a professional job at my favourite Mack shop. tks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30112-exhaust-manifold-bolt/#findComment-166961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
