Description of the problem | I am aware of numerous failures of these manifold studs failing way before their time which indicates inferior bolts or poor design. Also, there has been major emphassis on safety regarding gases intruding within the cabin space. However this may be a major concern, my question would be, if there is such a high rate of failures that are not being repaired due to costs, what is the purpose of emissions testing (when there are gases escaping)if we are not going hold the manufacturers accountable for inferior work and lack of regard to our environment? I have owned numerous cars in my time and have never experienced manifold studs shearing off. I thank you for your time in looking into this matter. John clark. *ak |
