exhaust manifold asap

[tercel drifter]

the far right stud on the exhaust manifold is broken. i do not know how long it has been like that. My turbo is now out of the engine bay and i would like to know is it worth trying running it 7 out of 8 studs? I have already tried to remove it, ill try once more i guess.

thanks ,
alex

nope, you should use all 8 so you dont have any leaks. a small leak will ruin the gasket and you'll have to end up pulling that shit out again to put another gasket on. just take it out/drill or whatever you need to do. Don't take any shortcuts

I had the same shit happen to me same stud too
had a nasty leak too
I had to use a 90* drill and use an easy out,
Enjuku had stronger studs, I bought'em, no more problems and looks good
