Motor mount put a hole in my header
So I think I just learned a $240 lesson. I bought the Autobahn88 Header from a member on here and he was using it in a 92 Sc300 without any issues, well apparently the 92 and 97 SC's have different motor mounts because I now have a hole in my new head
I thought my leak was coming from the gasket.....................boy was I wrong as you can see in the picture below I have bigger problems than a bad gasket.
Is this repairable and is there any way I can get them to fit on my car?
Here is the brand new HOLE
Can you guess what bolt caused the hole?

I'm really not sure what that bolt is for, it looks like it is holding the bracket to the engine, but I could be wrong

So I am assuming you are talking about the header and not the head. The header looks to be repairable. I'm not sure about that bolt sticking out that far on the motor mount bracket. I wouldn't chop it but I'd try removing it to make room for the header. Either that or replace that extra long bolt with one from a 92.
