I have been noticing a real faint tick and tonight finnaly relized what it is. The top two bolts holding the exhaust housing on came out and its has been leaking exhaust. First question is what size are these bolts. They are the 8mm 12pt bolts that are 1/2-3/4" long. Where can I find a couple, I'd like to get the factory 12 pt bolts. Anybody got a few laying around?? Also, the drain in the valley at the back of the block, where does it go to? I'm thinking that they may have fell down that hole. Is that a bad thing?? Can they hurt anything down there? Or might they be laying on the tranny dust cover?? Thanks for any input! Layne

Let me take a look when I get home, I just might have some of those bolts from my recent turbo rebuild Layne.

I lucked out and the dealership had a set of three(for the EBPV, they look exactly the same) so I got em. 12 bucks for them, what a rip!
Anyways their in and the ole beast is singing pretty again! Thanks for the offer!
Is their a torque spec for these?? I've never had trouble with em before. Dunno why they backed out unless I just pulled a bone-head and left them loose when I put the 1.0 housing on???
Thanks again Layne

Glad you found some replacements, though I am sure I have some on the bench in the garage. As to the TQ specs, I'm sure there is one but I just torqued them till my ears clicked.

I had the same problem and got them through the dealership too. Like stroker said real tight and haven't got loose yet.
