2003 Porsche Boxster S 986 Sheared Exhaust Manifold bolt replacement
Рет қаралды 4,233
3 жыл бұрынThis video documents the removal of three sheared manifold bolts on a 2003 986 Boxster S with a 3.2 litre M96 engine.
The process used a repair jig from Stomski Racing in the US that I purchased myself. Any excuse to buy new tools!! This jig and kit allowed for accurate alignment and drilling resulting in no thread repair on the engine.
This is first effort video and my camera and editing skills are terrible so no need to tell me!
That aside - hopefully it will help someone with the same problem or make them think twice and just pay someone to do it.

Great video. I have the same car, same year as well so this is very helpful.

I’m getting ready to put some headers on my 2002 S. Sheesh. Send a prayer my way 😅 I think I’m going to replace the bolts with studs for future ease of removal.

Hi great video. This is something that I'd like to tackle on my Boxster at sometime but even though I'm a competent DIY mechanic this is one of the few tasks that terrifys me! Do you think that using an induction heater would work on these to remove without shearing or are they to deeply seated. Thanks Jon

It's not that difficult to be fair. It is very time consuming though. If you haven't had the cats off before and that joint to the headers split it could be even more time. Induction does work well but in this application you will only get the to of the bolt. Then you have the heat sink of the manifold and block so not sure how it would travel down the threads. The other issue is that it will harden the bing slightly so if it does break then drilling will be harder and slower again.

Really helpful mate thanks! Got this to do on mine. Could you tell me the price of the jig?

Dave, I think I paid USD$340 for it. Only thing I'd recommend is a few longer drill bits to give better clearance.

I only wish that he had spoken more clearly. Could barely understand half of it.
