I was on the phone yesterday with the STM sales desk and I said, "My car is 15 years old and I think I might need throttle seals." Reaction from STM, "You think?"

Got home from work and saw my stripped manifold stud and it’s stripped inside the cylinder head but it won’t stay tight and won’t get tight fml.. red loctite is not working. Any recommendations? Heli coil , time-sert, new head? Ugh
i just tightened this as tight as I could get it and it looked like this after a 30 min ride home.

Wrapped downpipe , engine cleanup and hardware cleanup like chasing threads and tapping etc while I’m waiting on my time-sert kit to get here.
This is the hole that needs the repair.

My fifteen year old Evo got its first boost leak test today. The result - one leak, #2 injector. Fifteen year old throttle seals, which I bought replacements for ahead of time, not leaking. Plastic BOV, not leaking.

Got the turbo and other bits all installed and everything torqued down !! My repairs worked yay lol.
added some gold foil, maybe it will help? Few more things still left to do

Thanks , however now the lower one is stripped out ugh.. I’m gonna pull head now and get it fixed or get a new one and add some goodies to it. I’ll keep you all posted or make a build thread maybe.
