Manifold Bolts Problem

[CJ_Derv]

Hi guys and girlies,

Wonering if anyone can advise me on what to do, the problem i have is my manifold is leaking and affecting turbo performance, i believe it to be leaking from the gasket inbetween exhaust manifold and cylinder head.

Now the main issue i think the bolts/cylinder head threads may have gone as a few of the bolts dont get tight and havent tightened all the way incase it just spins and falls out.

I know theres an option to put these helicoil sets in but that means getting a drill down the back and drilling it dead straight and tapping and inserting the coil.

What other options can you think of as want to get it sorted in next week or so ready for Dyno

Cheers CJ
