Well, Since I already said that I wasnt going to pull the engine. That led me to believe that was another process of fixing that issue. I have a spare 7mge in the garage, If I was going to pull the oem engine. I might as well roll around on this coolant eating monster until it blows and...

Poodles, How can you deck the block with it still being in the engine bay?

yea the thread lock will hold, It has a heat rating of 400 degrees and 500 degrees to get it to break down if you need to remove it. I wouldt think a N/A would get that hot...Im in Indiana now and about to leave for Florida for the winter in about 3 weeks..I really don't want to monkey with this...

Yea, The exhaust manifold is already off and the very last thread is semi stripped by the firewall. I just dont see how I could get in there and get it straight to drill those out and heli coil those even with doing what radiod did, It sounds like a formula for alot of cussing & regret. I was...
