Life/wallet saver!! Great and innovative product! The last thing I wanted to do was take off my exhaust manifolds and try and fudge with getting the broken bolt out (I also didn’t want to pay sumone $1200 or so) to do that at a shop. So I opted for this. I originally seen this type of product from KralAuto but the dorman was a bit cheaper, the only significant difference between the two brands is at the end of the “pinch” bolt. The Kral has a nut welded onto the end of the “pinch ” bolt I guess to…
Works on 6.2L! Worked perfectly on my 6.2L 08 Escalade. Don’t know why they don’t advertise 6 2L. Competitor’s do. I rolled the dice and it worked great. Make sure you plug in the water temp sensor while the bolts are loose, BEFORE you loctite and torque. I trimmed the lock tab on the plug to make it lock in easier. Also, use a hammer and bend down the metal heat shield on the manifold. No need to trim.
Great solution to a seemingly common Great solution to a seemingly common, unavoidable problem with manifold bolts breaking off in the heads with GM vehicles! Wasn’t looking forward to pulling the heads and extracting the screws, and felt as though this would have to be done because very tight space to perform the extraction with the heads in place. Then I found these life-savers!
