Today I drilled out and re-tapped the stud I broke in my truck's exhaust manifold . It broke while I was taking the motor apart one piece at a time looking for a new and rather loud tick . Today I found it - the OEM camshaft timing gear was shedding the plastic teeth . Picked up parts today , including a new-to-me intake manifold . May or may not use it , the plumbing is different . Tomorrow I'll probably make new studs for the right side exhaust manifold since the other two unscrewed from the manifold with the nuts still on 'em . -- Snag
