To make a long story short... I had a bad exhaust leak. Bought new exhaust gaskets. Bought new exhaust studs to replace the exhaust bolts. When I tried to put one of the m8 exhaust studs into the one spot that had no exhaust bolt/ stud I found it to be much larger( damn you PO). I then went to the local parts store and bought the largest exhaust stud they had in stock ( m10). Even this is too small, so I’m estimating the po drilled it out to about an m12. Where can I even find an m12 exhaust stud? Am I going to have to have to settle for a bolt? Worst case scenario what are the odds I can get a good seal with just 7 exhaust studs? When will my project ever be done? What is the meaning of life? Should I just go ahead and buy a flat 6? I need answers!!!!

That is why they make a step stud that is 9mm on one end and 8mm on the other. Most time certs are 1/2-13 thread. Installing one with the engine in the car is tricky. See if a 1/2-13 bolt will screw into the hole. I made cut off heat exchanger flanges to use as drill guides for step studs and time certs. You can borrow them if needed. Hopefully you can install a time cert abd a fresh standard stud and be done. You are on your own to figure out the meaning of life. Good luck |
