Bolt got smashed while changing O2 Sensors on NA......

Hi guys!

 

I replaced my old oxygen sensors on my MKIV NA today.

wasn't a hard job to do although I'm not really a mechanic......

 

It would not be a proper job for me without something getting smashed or broken....

 

 

When I was finished with all the work and just wanted to tighten the last bolt of the heatshield that comes over the header suddenly - PANG!

 

the pin got completely smashed - broke off - so that it was impossible to bolt on a nut and also to get it out again...

as I want everything to work perfect and also look neat on my supra I decided to grind off the little rest of the pin.

 

I just wanted to ask one question - (may be stupid for some of you i know but am not a professional...)

do you guys think that this job is air tight?? - the most important thing on headers is that they're air tight, aren't they?

i truly hope so....... am really bothered about this right now.

 

Thanks a lot for your kind replies in advance,

 

regards, Herbert
