4.7l Tick?
#11
Im going to be doing the gaskets tomorrow. I found that the back bolt on the drivers side one is already snapped so i have a feeling a few others might. What are the thread and pitch and size of the bolts cause im going to get all new ones and how many are on each side? And where should i get new bolts from?

so you guys are talking about replacing the whole manifold itself? i know mine has ticked like this a few times and the damn bolts that bolt the manifold to the block, the head of the bolt snaps off and i gotta pull out the broken bolt sometimes with pliers sometimes with my hand and just throw some new bolts in and its good...but you do have to remove the fender well for this...only takes 5-10 minutes max...

Well i ended up blowing out my radiator yesterday so i decided to put in the new radiator and the new gasket all at once. Changed the radiator out in 30min and the manifolds came off pretty easy. The reason for the tick was cause the 2 bolts towards the back on both sides were snapped. I drilled a small hole in them and used and ez out to get them all out except the last one on the driver side. The ezout snapped in it and i cant get it out. I tried re drilling it but the way it snapped it keeps snipping the bit off the center of the bolt. I have no idea what to do now since that is the only bolt thats still stuck in. It broke a few mm in so i dont know what to do. Any help would be appreciated!
