Hey am installing a cat back on my r32 easy enough job in know but when i jacked up the car i found that the cat bolts are rusted tight and wont undo. for those of you who have done this before you would know that the bolts are actually part of the cat and aren't just replaceable ones. just wondering if is it alright just to snap off the nuts drill out the old thread and put in new bolts?

Cheers

A salesrep showed us this can yesterday. we took it outside to the "graveyard" (old machinery) and found the crappiest rusted looking bolt out there. this stuff got it loose 1st go. sprayed it on, waited 5 mins then undid it. that simple. have a look at it at : http://www.loctite.com.au/int_henkel/loctite_au/index.cfm

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
