    well guys, i tried to install my egt sensor tonight, needless to say, it didn't get very far. one of the bolts that connects the headers on the driver side and the crossover pipe was IMPOSSIBLE (I used my whole body, yes including my legs) to unscrew. So i had to resort to the tremel and cut the nut off :eek:hnoes: , so now I need a new nut and bolt. Does anyone know the part #?

    14mm ??? is that the wrench size or the thread size
    thats a huge bolt dont think it can strip that easily. normally bolt sizes are thread size

    is it a bolt or a stud ?

    sorry, it's the wrench size, not too sure what the thread size is, but it is pretty big. not too sure what happened, but it just siezed up, so dremel to the rescue.
