Weld.

That's a bit aggressive. I may cut the ball and socket off and use a wide band clamp .

Agression is sometimes required lol 😉


I like welding, so my solution is often to grab little Lincoln.

Something like Stage8 if they make?

The odd thing is the nuts are not backing off . The are lock nuts . I thing the flanges are deforming. I actually found a ball and socket band clamp . I ordered 2 of these in stainless. I really don't like the 3 bolt triangle flanges anyway . I will take some pics when I get them and show the difference.

That makes sense believe it or not.
I have had flanges bend on other cars causing leaks.

Luckily it's not leaking but the bolts rattling are driving my know sensors crazy and it's hard to tune WOT.

I would like you guy/gals to do something when you get time . I would like you to post back here your hot idle vacuum and oil pressure.
( engine thermostat open and in P on A8 or in neutral on M8 . )
This is for my curiosity.
@moparjim , @DemonSRT ,and @16GoManGoHC2 need not apply . ( sorry I couldn't resist )

That's all I got to say.
And here's why.

Well out for some more testing . A couple of things . At 38F my car makes 19 psi ( 2.30 Pratio) and at 72F it makes 18 psi ( 2.25 Pratio ) . These are peak numbers . Also I see 18 inches of vacuum at hot idle . My car made the best of 16 inches before.

And those blasted header collector bolts loosened up AGAIN ! WTF I need to figure out a new way of connecting the headers to the exhaust.

A couple clean tack welds will work. Put them in a place where they are easy to grind or cut when necessary.

All these missing engines

ok Jim we want your blood pressure instead an your body temp every time you think about your car

It would have been interesting when I turned and first saw it. Especially after not expecting anything to be done. I was going to bring it home while we waited for news.

I hope your wait is not as long for a motor as a stupid demon caliper is.

What did I miss?

ECT at 183° F RPM around 700
Idle Oil Pressure 47-49 psi
Vacuum 10-12 in/Hg

Moparjim's car is In getting a warranty engine .
Demonsrt is trying to upgrade his suspension and is having a hell of a time getting parts
And 16gomango had to rebuild his engine and is stuck waiting for parts so none of them can start their cars . I figured I'd throw a dig at them .
