Re: Drill out broken exhaust manifold stud- water/antifreeze!

Thanks Wesley-- I guess my main question and concern is: Do the exhaust manifold studs normally communicate with the underlying water jackets? If not, I guess it's possible that someone previously drilled too deep and connected with a water jacket. Crack in the block? It's hard to imagine that a bad head gasket could cause this given the location of the stud holes.

Any thoughts?
