F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 2m 23d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 07/12/05 12:41 AM Share Posted 07/12/05 12:41 AM Mine went in today to get a service & studs replaced/tightened.I gave them some Loctite Silver Grease to put on the studs.My studs generally come out with the nut firmly in place... I have had one drop out completely. As mentioned, it's easy to hear when they are loose. Makes a wastegate/blowoff valve noise under moderate acceleration.I'll let you know how the grease goes, but it should help things.It's not just Ford, it's because of the temp range of the studs. Extreme hot to Cold will always make them unstable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should keen the sucker there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same issue with a GT4 Toyota and an S14 200SX, check the bolts every 10,000km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the heat shield(s) need to be removed, but if someone has done it already id like some feedback! georgemopar@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just next to the turbo.. The other 3 need the shielding taking off.I used my fone to take a pik of the one at the rear down the bottom. Bit hard to see with the naked eye.. Foon is same as T. Identical even.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now off the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
