I Give up! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I have tired the impossible to solve this problem.
My bolts holdling the manifold and the turbo together keep on coming out. I have tried everything.
Lock-tight, locking washers, million set of bolts, and still, they come loose.
It's precision SC-61 on a old school lovefab shorty manifold. Yes I realize that the turbo is heavy as *****, but any solutions out there for me??
I really don't want to spot weld the turbo and the manifold
TIA

Re: I Give up! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
At first I started out with studs, but that didn't work out so switched over to bolts.
Yah the manifold is threaded and the turbo isn't it.
I was using 2 nuts on 2 of the bolts becuase the 2 in teh back end up hitting the runner or hidden by the runner and therefore you can't use nuts on the rear ones. Nevertheless, it still didn't work out for me.

..So how many bolts matched with nuts do you have in the manifold.From what I'm understanding, your saying you only have have (2) bolts with matching nuts on the front
and nothing on the back ones?
