Otherwise a sly washer on the bolt may give enough compression before it jams. Either way paper gaskets in an area that sees as much heat as a turbo drain is testicles and a high temp oring arrangement will always be better 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/842/#findComment-1640068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that I'll give the washer a try - not optimistic haha.

eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 6m 29d Posted 29/05/17 11:35 AM Share Posted 29/05/17 11:35 AM Should be able to helicoil easily in that area? Easy fix being a small bolt in aluminium also more room there on a B series k frame then my E series.

Cold side & core from 2nd hand snail attached to the old modified hot side & wastegate & remounted with new studs. Air system for horn & bagged trailer all finished & works posh as! Switches to control it all from the cabin. It's a bit hard to show the horns cause they're crammed right up under the tray, so these are the best pics I can get. & finished up the weekend with a fully hectic clean & Polish. Sent from my fancy pansy touchy screeny phoney using a Tapatalka appliacationa 5 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/842/#findComment-1640074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand derp... it would cost me less to get the mobile thread guy around to fix it than it would to buy a helicoil kit.

If so bulk room to helicoil it. Plug the drain hole with rag first and don't drill all the way through. The holes are blind from the factory.
