I don't drive it much since it isn't my daily driver anymore, but I checked the vacuum and it's about 18 hg. The needle doesn't move much, but maybe I think it should be a little higher.
If you are concerned just pick up some reversible drill bits and get that bolt out....worst case..heli coil it if it strips out.....just an option...
Those damned easy outs never work, at least for me. I worked in the auto repair industry for many years and I could never get it to work. Best to get some hardened carbide bits and drill it out and retap it or helicoil it as suggested.
I was thinking that if the bolt head broke that there may be a stub that can be gripped if the intake was removed.
Labora said:I tried to use a ez out on mine. Did not work actually made things WORSE the ezout broke.
Had to remove the heads and take it to a machine shop, they kind of put the fear in me to not do that again. :?
They where able to helicoil it.
What did that end up costing you to get the machine shop to fix it? I was out earlier taking my explorer motor apart getting it ready for some routine rebuild work and I broke the passenger/front lower intake bolt in the head. Not enough to grab with vise grips either!
Mine broke on the way out, not going in.
