OK, so I lost the 10 mm bolt that connects the EGR to the manifold. Luckily I'm running without the EGR, so that's ok, I don't need that on. However I also lost one of the studs for my manifold, and so I've got a leak up front. It's the bolt underneath where the EGR pipe meets the drivers side rear primary. I assume you guys know what I'm talking about, if not it's the bolt closest to the brake cylinder that's 1/2'' (not the EGR bolt (10 mm)). What size is the stud? The ones I got from Napa are wrong, and I'm upset cause I have no clue whats happening. 8 mm??
I have an extreme one-off car right now, as a 8mm bolt with an extra nut and washer have replaced one stud, and the stud I'm using that is supposed to go into the exhaust mani, just doesnt want to go all the way in. It's almost like the threads are bad, or the gasket is in the way (how I have no idea, I can punch a screwdriver in the whole).
Or anyone willing to look at my car tommorow asap? I'm just really pissed, cause it sounds horrible. I also might have a leak where my dp hits my 3" pipe. I'm also getting 5* KR, running really lean, and I feel I'm getting some false KR if it's not due to just the fact I'm lean.
And sorry if my last couple of posts have been angry ones, but this damn car is pissing me off more and more. Why can't anything ever go smoothly?? I got pissed off tho and hit my downshift at 40 mph into 1st....wow it feels awesome. Mixed emotions, I just need some help

I assume it's a little smaller than 8 mm? I don't care what the bolt it, I need to know the diameter of the actual portion that enters through the manifold to the head.
Does anyone want to help me??
Thanks a ton. Please help me before I decide to sell this damn car and get a bike or a honda
