Anyone have any tips on removing the intake studs? I recently did my stage 3 upgrade and I need to pull off my manifold to check my laminova cores o-rings. And am worried that I may have used to much red loctite when Re-installing the studs. People online say to heat it but how would you go about that with the manifold in the way?

 

why would u use red lock tight? use blue if u ever want to remove them easily again. only thing I can think of is run ur motor to operating temp and then remove them, should cause the locktite to not hold as strongly.

 

All the instructions/ forums/ write ups I came across said to use the red loctite.... That's what I was thinking of doing. Just nervous of like warping manifold from going to hot then cold. Since it is like 30 degrees f here

 

its colder than that here and iv never warped anything

 

Thanks, I appreciate that. That takes a load off.

 

Worked like a charm! Warm it up to operating temp, quickly disassemble belt, s/c then the studs on the manifold came right out! Thanks for them reassurance

 

Haha ur welcome. I had an issue with I think it was a rusty exhaust nut once, did same thing and it came right off
