Parts needed, trouble finding...
If anyone knows where I can get some connective hardware for my exhaust manifold (1988 740 turbo: B230FT) I would greatly appreciate it.
The forward stud fell out which caused my manifold to blow the forward gasket which in turn burned a hole in my timing belt cover. No damage was done to the timing belt (I ordered a new one anyway). So I'm going to replace all eight studs (one of them broke off inside the block. Fun fun. I'm not sure about the one that was missing in the first place) the forward retainer is missing (3/4" circumfrence X1/8"thick tapered washer looking thing, counterbored on the inner surface with a 3/8" hole.) so I will need at least one, but preferably eight of those, complete with the nuts as well. Also, I'm going to need one plug wire heat shield, because it's corroded beyond repair around the lower fastener area.
Those are the only things I'm having a very difficult time finding. I'd go to the pick and pull, but, as usual they're closed when I'm off work.
Thanks in advance for any help.
By the way: Rock Auto and VLVworld.com doesn't have the parts either. Needless to say, I looked there first.
Update: After periless searching on the net I found that fcpgroton.com had the nuts and studs I needed. But the plug wire shield and retainers are still yet to be found.
I just remembered someone I work with is a machinst... I'm having him make the remaining parts I need.
Thanks for all the help!
