exhaust manifold stud just broke
Have a 1974 Atomic 4 gas engine in my sailboat.
One of the exhaust manifold studs PULLED OUT IN MY HAND. I'm not that strong (!) and have not used a tool on it ( that I recall ) It was broken at the threads. Does this "just happen " ? |

Re: exhaust manifold stud just broke
Yeah, it happens...I've seen it happen probably.....5 maybe 6 times. Every time I saw this happen it was a broken bolt where-what would be the hottest part of the engine area.
