Re: Snapped off an exhaust bolt
 

The OP has a (ta da) YJ not a TJ. And an '88 at that. Which has the 4.2
liter engine. Which has the cast iron exhaust manifold. Which has the
screw in studs. Which is what the rest of us were talking about.

This is Usenet. The "rest of us" have been having a broader conversation.

The OP described a "built in" stud, suggesting it might have been modified
with a pressed-in stud (although it apparently on further exam is not).

A follow up denied that splined exhaust studs existed, saying "never seen
or heard of a pressed fit exhaust stud in any vehicle", to which I have
been responding that they are in the TJ as a prime example. And then some
know-nothing with a subscripted name suggests DC, NAPA, and I are all
wrong, that splined studs are for wheels, not exhaust manifolds.

Re: Snapped off an exhaust bolt
 

Well, a few post's back you were quoted as saying

"Forget the advice from the more-macho-than-thou types about rusty bolt
extraction."

Since I was one of those attempting to help someone with a fairly
miserable problem and you were the idiot trying to obscure the problem
and offer irrelevant information, I could have taken offense to your
comments. But this is usenet, I just expect a pile of BS to spew out
occassionally.

No need to respond,I won't see it, you have been added to the 'Bill
Filter'. Makes this newsgroup much easier to read.

Some use Usenet for technical advice, and learn and benefit. Some pick
fights for a twisted hobby, or sulk about, taking offense and squealing
"kill file" when confronted with their own bafflement.
