I have a stainless AFE manifold and SB 64 I can't seem to keep anything tight!
I tighten the bolts weekly but they just come loose again! Now the turbo flange is puking black smoke! This was hard to tighten the back nuts not much room for a wrench let alone turning it! I think locktite would burn out at 1200 degrees! I'm thinking of using the Stock bolts and spacers and be done with it! Any ideas or solutions out there?
How bad will a leak effect power and MPG? Could this be the cause of the constant black smoke? Hazy on the freeway!
