Re: Poll - MEVI screws falling out
I pulled mine yesterday and thankfully they were still there. No loctite was used previously on the butterfly screws, but upon reassembly I used it.
|
:wavey:
Mine fell out. :( |
Mine fell out with no loc tite and I now am rebuilding the engine.

No loc-tite and screws were still on tight. Will put lock loc-tite on soon though.
|
so far nobody had them fall with Loc-tite so that a good thing.
|
Why is there no option for stayed in with locktite :P I pulled the cover off of my collector today and my screws/butterflies are in good shape. The only puzzling thing to me is a puddle of oil I found.

Locktite - none fell out.
No reports of any of the ones I've sold falling out either. |

I was concerned at first but no longer. What do you make of it? |
yes I have a small puddle of oil on my manifold as well. I did not use loctite:bonk: Use loctite and learn from everyones mistakes:)
|
Im about to check my screws in about 20 min and Ill post what I see. Iilac also checked his but found somethign odd. we'll see
|
ok, just got done checking mine out and they are still on there. I used threadlocker blue from the start. Didnt see any oil puddles yet either. I also indexed my screws by marking a line on the screw and on the plate with a sharpie marker, that way I can tell if they moved even a little bit the next time I inspect them.

Used Loc-Tite Red. No missing screws or valves. I didn't use it at first but I thought I'd better and reassembled it with Loc-Tite before I installed it on the car. I'm REALLY glad I did!!!

When I got my MEVI I checked all the screws and they were tight. I just had teh screws welded on just in case, it cost like $5 to have it done. The welding looks worse because of the burn't metal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...6/DSCF0374.jpg |

Wow that some scarey ****... I wouldn't want a screw floating around my manifold then into my block!
How much are these Mevi manifolds?... I gotta get a rebuild kit for my engine and was thinkin of getting better performance parts to replace the stocks. I dont want to use soo much aftermarket, I know the Mevi comes off of Cefiro right?.. Or am I wrong? (My Nissan/Inifiti knowledge isn't all that well) |
coutesy has one for sale $395.
|
plus extra parts to get it working

wow.... good thing this thread was brought back up.... I think I'm gonna weld mine this weekend. I've checked mine and it's all still on and tight. Used blue locktite on it when i first got it (8 months or so)
