what's your solution to broken manifold bolts?
As the title says. What's is the best way to avoid dealing with this again? Currently both front and rear manifold bolts have snapped off on both manifolds.
New manifolds are cheap enough but are headers the better route?
Does someone like ARP offer better bolts for the Ls syndrome?

I replaced mine with the ARP 434-1301 exhaust manifold stud kit with new AC Delco gasket. I think this is the best way to deal with the broken bolts.
I'm still saving up for the Dynatech long tube headers with ceramic coating and high flow cat also with Magnaflow performance muffler.

Another solution I have found is from Kral auto parts. Sorry don't know how to post links. But it's a bracket that bolts into existing holes and uses a jack bolt toclamp and seal the manifold.
Anyone try the kit from Kral's. I know it's a quick fix. But it looks painless and looks like it would work.

^ thanks for the pics. I've decided to go that route. Going to order them Monday. Hope I get that lucky and can turn the broken bolts with vice grips. Probably going to do plugs,wires and coil packs at the same time.

They are getting crusty. But I guess if they are working, then why mess with them. Thanks
