Exhaust manifold studs Q

[marc_scirocco@yahoo.ca (Marc scirocco Québec)]

Here it is, I am about to install this 4-2 exhaust
manifold.

Now, 3 of the old studs are out, no problem. The 3
remaining studs broke, with nothing to grab them.

I drilled 2, one of them is gone now, but the threads
are shot... And I am sur that it will be the same
thing for the remaining 2 studs.

At this stage, I do not care if the new studs ever
come out again, so I am thinking about drilling a
hole, and welding/gluing the remaining 3 new studs, JB
weld, or something similar...

Anybody has done something similar in the past? Any
suggestion?

Cheers.
