Hello,
I'm finally doing the right thing and am replacing a manifold bolt with a new MMI stud.
See photo for wet hole on the right.
The old bold was missing many threads and was weeping water from behind.
The new stud is slightly larger (7/16 thread) so I am tapping over the old threads.
QUESTION:
What is located behind that hole?
As I am drilling out the old hole, how far back should I go?
How much space is the water passage?
Any penalty for drilling too far?
Thanks!
