hey I'm trying to take out my exhaust but I can't get the damn 3 last bolts off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png I'm gonna take it to a shop so that they can take them out for me then put them back in softer.

I only had one bolt on the intake manifold, and when I started the car there was white smoke everywhere!

I think it was coolant.

I'm scared!! :(

Why did you only have one bolt on the intake manifold?

DCmina 08-05-2002 08:26 AM

I have an 89 GXL.

I only had one bolt cause I was lazy to put the other back on. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR

I just needed to drive it to the shop so I only put one back. Then white smoke everywhere!! :o

No smoke now though. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Let's hope it won't come back.



thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
