plodder Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I went to hookup the exhaust to the engine, it had no stud bolts.OK, so I go buy 4 stud bolts. (this car was mostly together) So I loosely hook up the driver's side of the exhaust, go to the passenger side, and the bolts are too short. I end up buying 50 mm, bolts, and they are still to short. I talk to someone and they say that , some of these motors have a block that goes between the head exhaust, and the exhaust pipe connection. He rattles through a bucket of old parts thinking he has one, but doesn't. Anyone else know bout this?????? Got one??? My other e81 does not not have this, am I making sense????

plodder Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yeah I'll check it out. I may get a coupler and lengthen it that way if all else fails. Why are the simple projects riddled with menial physical probs????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
