Kyleaussie Member 88 Member For: 12y 9m 6d Posted 04/11/12 03:18 AM Share Posted 04/11/12 03:18 AM (edited) I'm in the process of doing my rebuild on the bf f6 engine and iv come acress a bit of a problem. I was thinking about going a 6boost hi mount manifold but I took the first 2 bolts out of my stock manifold and it pulled the alloy thread with them! Has anyone else had this problem? Also with has people been paying for a 6boost manifold?
