I need someone who knows what they are doing and someone who wants to make a bit of ca$h to do a bit of work on my coupe.

I have (I think) 4 exhaust manifold studs broken off in the motor. I need these extracted - it may be easy or hard, I haven’t even looked at it.

There is an exhaust leak (I think, I haven’t actually got out of the car while it’s running to listen properly, I just hear it while I accelerate) - I need it fixed. The exhaust has no holes in it for sure so quote me based on it being a gasket or even maybe the manifold studs being broken… there is 4 of them or so (of 8 total) not on so its very likely that this is the case.

all of the hangers are on the actual exhaust, but the car only has the rear one so the exhaust is bouncing all over the place - i need at least one more hooked up, how you do this I dont care as long as its not retarded. If you can weld, that would be ideal I guess. Again, I haven’t actually looked at the situation down there so it may be easy, may not be.

The car needs to pass e-test because I can’t afford to keep buying 10-day trip permits and I don’t have money to spend on this piece of crap car to pay a shop $50/hour or more.

I’m looking for someone to give me a flat rate (not including parts) to fix this.

I’m in Oakville and I’m going away this weekend so it would be a good time to do it - I’m leaving tomorrow night though so this might be too last minute to make plans.

Also, I’m leaving right after work tomorrow so you would need to pick up the car with a friend or something and drive it to your location to work on it over the weekend - I don’t have time to deliver it anywhere unless it is very local, or on the way to the 115 (east of toronto on 401) from Oakville… that would be an option also.

Hit me with your bids :slight_smile:

PS - I don’t want any ghetto shit, I’d rather bring it to a shop than be unhappy with the work that is done so don’t bother giving me a price if you aren’t very confident in your bolt extraction skills, welding, etc.

Try posting in the ‘Lend a Hand Program’. You might get some more hits there and someone might be willing to help out for free. Those bolts will need and ez-out and drill. May have to pull the head off if there’s no room for a drill in there. Some guys have had some luck with just bolting the manifold right to the head metal-to-metal and having no leaks but you won’t know until you try. Good luck

are they flush with the head or the manifold?

If they are flush with the manifold, when you remove the manifold there should be about 1/2" of them sticking out from the head.

Princess auto sells a stud remover tool for I think $20ish, It worked for me when I had a broken stud sticking out a 1/2"
