Good morning all,

I need some advice regarding a snapped exhaust manifold stud. It is the top stud on No:1 cylinder and it is broken off flush with the head, I am thinking of trying to fix it today as I am sick of the exhaust manifold leak, so I am trying to find out some information.

1. Is it better to try to get the broken stud out(drill and use easy out) or is it better to drill and tap a new thread.

2. What size thread are the original studs, I assume they are metric and are they left or right hand thread into the head.

3. Is there anything I need to be on the lookout for if I tackle this job.

Any tips, tricks and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mark
