This is actually for another car of mine, a V6 Volvo. It's old and not worth very much, and has a leaky exhaust manifold gasket. The problem is, it's an
'85, and the probability of busting off a stud is pretty high, I think. If that happens, the clearance is really bad, and we might not be able to get enough to put in a new stud. Of course, once you start you're committed. Also, the noise is getting pretty bad.
I was wondering if anyone has ever had luck with taking a wedge of metal, and maybe hammering it into the place where the gasket has failed. Might not work completely, but maybe it would knock it back some.
