Subject:Partial engine drop for stripped exhaust stud
From:Scott Norville
Date:Mon, 21 Jun 2004 17:25:31 -0400

I have apparently stripped both holes for the #4 exhaust. Since everything
else is working fine I would rather leave the engine in, but it needs a
helicoil. There is hardly enough room for a wrench on that corner. Does
anyone know if the engine will tilt downward enough to work there if the
engine crossbar is unbolted, leaving the tranny attached (and all the
plumbing and wiring)?
