Other hole in bpipe manifold bolt area

[motozachl]

Help!!!!

Accidentally drilled too deep while tapping the manifold. Is this area below where water flows or exhaust?? Will just putting the bolt in be fine?

how deep did u go, im not sure how thick it is there before it gets into the water jacket, realy doubt the water jacket goes up that high

 

[motozachl]

So that's the waterjacket??????? I REALLY hoping it is.....

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

you hit the area under the bolt hole for the head pipe?

 

[motozachl]

Yes. See the half moon in the bolt hole area? That's missing metal

dam idk man looks pretty close, fire it up and c if it leaks couldn't hurt anything I wouldn't think

Little bit of JB weld should do the trick plus the bolt will seal it as well. The real trick will be using something that will seal the threads and allow it to be removed in the future if needed.
