Y8 intake mani on an z6 head

Post by stlsupra »

has anyone on this forum done this? i got a '99 Y8 manifold and have to plug the air injection holes and wondering how other people have done it?

just to update what i did. i tapped the four holes and inserted 4 screws with blue loctite. Then ground off the head of the screw. manifold flange is flush and gasket sits just fine.
