Bill -

One question - the hole goes from one end to the other on the flange of the
exhaust manifold, so do I set the coil with some high strength threadlocker=
?

Best,

It held up for quite a few years, until I got a chance to put inserts <br>
in; but, 300degF may not be enough for exhaust proximity. It&#39;s an epoxy=
, <br>
like JB Weld, but it uses (your) bolt to form threads, and a &#39;release <=
br>
agent&#39; to keep the bolt/stud from being glued in. I can&#39;t say for s=
ure, <br>
but my gut feeling is an epoxy would gum up a tap.<br>
