I know, stupid question, but I have to. Is there a way to at least temporarily seal a blown gasket on a rear downpipe on the y without removal and reinstallation??

 

gasket on rear downpipe?? are you talking about where the header mates with the block? or where the rear manifold mates to the "y-pipe"??

 

manifold to y-pipe...

I'm dreaming about a cattman y-pipe right now LOL. But I can't get one.

 

it shouldnt be that hard to take the y-pipe off and replace the gasket. Get a buddy, and some drinks/food, and do it

 

no way to seal it...ill be posting a write of how to properly seal up a y pipe later tonight or tomorrow morning...but yes you have to remove the Y pipe to seal it

 

300 k, stock y, i will snap a bolt and i would be clueless what to do with that. i just saw the bolts and they are rusted all over.

I mean, I want to, but...

Ok, other than what is listed below, what would I need in case I snap a bolt? I have a drill, do I just get special bits, spray the bolt down with penetrating oil and try to remove the nub?

1/2" ratchet
14mm deep impact socket
14mm shallow impact socket
12mm impact socket
22mm wrench
penetrating oil
1/2" swivel
1/2" impact extention

 

Sounds well timed in my case. I'll be one of the first to read it for sure.
