Subject:Broken manifold bolt
From:Richard Ferguson
Date:Sat, 30 Dec 2000 02:43:12 -0800

Hi, I have a broken bolt that holds the manifold to the block...the
bolt is broken off in the block and the mechanic says he will have to
drill it out...apparently pieces of the manifold gasket are being blown
out too...He suggests drilling out the bolt...resurfacing the manifold
and putting on a new gasket all for around 400$. Does this seem
reasonable? Will I hurt anything by driving like this for a while? I
have to fix my rear heater core first because it is leaking coolant.
Thanks for any advice,
Rick
