You know you can modify what you said by clicking modify right?

So... not the exhaust bolt... do you mean header bolts?

right next to it?  on the left or the right?

this one?

No actually I didnt see the modify button sorry. I was totally wrong about where and what it was it is under the exhaust. when I got back from the ride oil had dripped down and there was a drop built up and ready to drop from the tip of the bolt. For all the hassle Im still waiting on my repair  manual to come.
