Hi All –
Getting ready to order new exhaust studs for the 6 conversion. I need to measure the flanges on my headers, then make the call. Anything to stay away from in terms of stock vs stainless, etc etc etc? Aren’t they just M8-1.25’s? I know even my local Ace Harware had them in various lengths – but I don’t know what they were made of. Thanks!!! Scott S (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

 Link- (Car Parts Dicount) to genuine OEM Exhaust Manifold Studs.. http://www.carpartsdiscount.com/auto/parts...tml?3593=101653 No on the Stainless, No on the Hardware store. My experience when I had issue with the studs on my orginal cylinder heads that the PO had "repaired stripped threads and replaced studs with Non-OEM" and ended up with rebuilt cylinder heads that the rebuilder used Stainless Studs only to remove the stainless studs and install OEM.. None of the replacement studs that are stainless or ? are the exact same measurment or desighn as the OEM. There can be a variety off unsuspecting issues with using non-oem studs.. And this is an area that can be expensive to repair and the issue with using non-oem may not show itself imeadiately but will over time.. One stud failed and It cost me over $1,000 easily to remedy... Your repairs may vary... |
