OH I had the joy tonight of torquing down the exhaust manifold only to have all but 1 stud spit out of the head with the threads After doing searches for Helicoil info, one thread had mentioend NAPA has a Exhaust stud repair kit for the Yota 22re. Is this true and if it is does anyone have a part number.
Thanks

 

Cant say I can help you with the part number, but the torque on those studs is only supposed to be 33 lb/ft +/-2.

 

Yup, and i culdnt get near it Pulled them right out. Unfortunately this Head i am using i got with a parts motor so i didnt know how strong or weak the threads were. The machine shop repaired one of the studs when i brought it to them because i knew it was stripped.

 

I helicoiled all the threads when I rebuilt my motor.

If your doing it IN the truck, Id suggest a right angle Drill.

HEHEHEHE now that is funny, i just found it over there and was going to copy and paste the same info.

Fortuantely the motor is on a stand so it will be a more manageable job.
