my exhaust gasket blew out and i broke a bolt in the head. any way i got it out. gotta love those easy outs. and i dont want replace them with stock ones, cause i justbought a newOBX header
ok soi've looked on arp, with i saw a aid in import tuner for metric studs. bolts. jegs, summit etc.and have not found any for my F23A1. so if anyone can point me in a good direction. thanks

 

got a pic of it? ive no idea what kind of car you have.

 

put your year, make, and model in your sig.

 

F23a1 = 98-02 4cyl's....its not that hard to figure out. All the studs are the same.

www.kingmotorsports.com has some extended studs you can use.

 

oops youre right i didnt see that. still, it does make it easier when we know exactly what we're working with.

 

MY BAD GUYS. so no one knows where to find any?
Velocifero you are using your stock bolts with your header?

 

if youre referring to the bolts sticking out of the head of the motor, then yes. the header itself is secured by the nuts however.

bolt, nut same difference.but its a stud that stick out of the head that the header bolts too.i dont want to replace the broken one with another stock one. thats why im looking for arp ones or something of the same grade. but if you dont know just say so.

 

a side note with OBX headers, tighten those bolts/nuts twice a week for about a month (re-torque them) to make sure you get a good seal, and if possible I'd suggest getting an aftermarket exhaust gasket for that.... there has been some issues with the stock OBX ones... as far as where to get the bolts I've had good luck finding stuff at local auto parts stores

 

hea i not to happy with the craftsmanship of the header , knew i should of got the DC sports one like i had . but there rough on the pocket. it looked good from all the pics and what i've heard . the flanges are thick with is good. but there not welded all the way threw on the inside. and there is still some deburing left on the inside to.andi had planed on changing allthe gaskets whlie the motor is out.but parts of the F23 are hard to find ,no one make much for it. hondatamake a heatsheild for the F22 but not the 2.3
