I’ve had a look at the manifold bolts and it seems that 2 will snug but never tighten, I have purchased a new gasket and some studs to replace the bolts but just wondering if there is something else I will need to do first with the holes or what? cheers.

If that is the case then you pull the manifold off, helicoil them and that will be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
