Hey guys,
I have a question for those who mess around with m42's. Three exhaust manifold studs (from cyl nÂș1, the closest to the radiator) broke off on their own. This probably means my manifold warped, but this is not my concern.
It seems to me that the only way to extract the broken studs is to either pull off the head or the engine altogether because there seems to be no way to use an extractor in that tight space.
What do you guys recommend doing? I would like to avoid having to go the head off route, but perhaps i can lift the engine enough to be able to remove the studs.
