josh_t Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 mine was from a torn gasket but now it looks much better since i removed it. what can i do to remove the studs from the intake manifold? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Angle grind them flush or heat the intake with a propane torch and use vice grips on them. Aluminum swells twice as much as steel when heated. Hole gets bigger and the stud may twist out. Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 cows, chickens, pigs should also be smogged since they emit methane...on a serious note..., if they are serious, they need to smog motorcyles, like Harleys, Buses, big trucks, Big trucks are smogged. Diesel engine manufactuerers have very strict emiisions laws to abide by now days. Gone are the days of new trucks blowin black smoke. Its new technology and they are having nothing but trouble with most of it. Luckily I have a 1999 engine in my 2010 Freightliner :D . No emissions and black smoke every time I shift!! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
