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!!!!
