The two bolts that stick out of the engine for the reactor are striped out.

What can I do my car sounds like a frieght train, the top two are goldin.

I have a new gasket in already but the last guy to have it before me put in a custom header and removed the reactor. Man I'd like to kick this guy square in the nuts!
He stripped them out and now I'm clueless.

Please help I can't go anywhere!!

 

reactor=the catalytic converter? is that what you're talking about? what are you trying to do, put the cat back in?
You need to be more clear.

 

yeah, WTF is a reactor????????

 

well he said they stick out of the engine so I am going to beleive that he means the stock exhaust manifold. Well I beleive you can remove those studs and replace them with others.

 

thermal reactor was used in earlier rx7 to reduce emisions, even some eurospec 2nd gen have it :-))))

 

That's what he's talking about. The studs can be removed from the block and replaced. Vice grips are a wonderful thing.

 

when i put a RB header on the two bolts by the firewall were nuts and the other two were studs!! i dont know if this is normal but ive had no problems!!

 

Got the posts out, your right vise-grips are truly wonderful. PB Blaster for a couple of days and they came out easy.

New problem, after a month on 10mm bolts the gasket is leaking. So I climb under there and tryed to tighten them up a little. They f**kin' stipped out, damn it.

What can I do? It sounds worse now than before.
