Just noticed I have three bolts broken off on the exhaust manifolds. The driver's side most forward bolt, and most rearward bolt. Both broken off, not fallen out. The front bolt is broken off flush with the head, the rear bolt is broken off flush with the manifold.
The passenger side is most rearward, broken off at the manifold. So, this involves at least one e-z out type of repair...luckilly the most forward bolt on the driver's side....
The vehicle is not storing any emission codes....there is a very slight....to the trained ear...exhaust leak. There is no evidence of exhaust leaking at these points....soot, carbon, etc...so any potential erosion of the heads seems minimal.
The vehicle has 177 K miles on it. In otherwise excellent condition....I'm just thinking of running it until it throws a code or the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced....
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks....c good
