What are the chances that I could just tighten the nuts which hold the heat exchangers on without pulling the studs out?
I'm about to set the car up for a morning valve adjustment and figured I'd spray the exhaust nuts with pb blaster and let it soak overnight in hopes of tightening them up. |

There is a Mercedes nut used on their exhaust manifolds that work great on the 914 heat exchangers. They are treated so they don't seize to the studs, and they have a flange that fits the heat exchanger really well.
And for the muffler, use longer bolts and double nut them. The bolts won't back out that way, and you don't have to worry about pulled head studs because the bolt holding the muffler to the boomerang fell out. |
