Its better than taking the chance of getting drill filings in the motor. I've done the welder and nut thing before, it works but I also have the welders to do it. I sure hope it wasnt bottomed out for you

I have used the manley bolts on 4 occassions now without issue. I hope you can get it out without too much trouble. Last edited by RonP; 02/27/09 08:24 AM.

I was torqueing it down and it felt springy so I new what it was so I took it back out and I could see the bottom thread was shiny. I put a hard washer on it and then it torqued down fine. My heads are milled .060. Manley says to install them at 70 ft. lbs. dry. They say they have a dry film coating on them that does not need any other lube. I also plug weld a nut on a stubbern stud to get it out. As soon as you stop welding, while it is still hot you can touch a candle to it and let it suck the wax around it. This works good if the hole is rusty. If it is just bottomed it probably won't help.

I only installed one side and of course the other side is missing a short one now. Mopar Performance
