I am looking for longer intake manifold studs.
If I use one of the thick intake gaskets, my current studs are not quite long enough to bolt on my carbs. Where can I find longer ones? I did not see them at Raby's or PP, and trying to search at AA right now is neigh impossible. My search is hampered as I don't actually know the dimensions of the stock studs. I guess the simpler solution would be to buy another set of thin intake gaskets. But I have a new set of the thick ones, and I understand that they are better to use. And, yes, I am aware that I am asking noob-tastic questions this evening. Zach |

Won't plain M6x1.0 (thread) in an appropriate length work fine? You should be able to get that from a good large hardware store, or at least a big auto parts place. Failing that, Caterpillar Tractor carries lots of metric stuff...
No, I don't know what the appropriate length is; if you have stock studs measure them and add however much more length you think you need. --DD |

Won't plain M6x1.0 (thread) in an appropriate length work fine? Is that a question also or a statement? I don't know either. I can assume it would be fine, but then I have one already that won't come out, so I don't want to just stick any old piece of hardware in my head. Measuring is no sweat. I'm pretty sure they're 30mm. Edit: They are 40mm as I indicated in my next post. And they're 8x1.25 not 6x1.00. This post has been edited by Gint: Apr 6 2008, 12:49 AM |

And they're 8x1.25 not 6x1.00. M8? Really? I could swear that they took a 10mm wrench, not a 13! (This is the intake, I mean.) But you have checked, so my memory must be wrong. Rats, early-onset Alzheimer's.... --DD You guys got me curious as I'm getting ready to beef up my 2.0L heads for my typeIV two wheeler engine. I just measured the exhaust and intake studs they are the same 6mm X 1.25. So maybe the 6 cylinder head studs are larger like 8mm... eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I had my head temporarily up my ass! 8mm X 1.25 is correct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) As you can see mine's 7.93 mm X 1.25 though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
