Re: Exhaust and Intake Manifold Studs

When I had my engine rebuilt recently, the machine shop broke off one of the long studs as they were chain-hoisting the block to load into my vehicle. They replaced with an off the shelf exhaust stud, but when I got home and started putting things together, found their replacement was a half inch or so too short. They couldn't find one long enough and just took a correct grade 3/8/16 bolt, cut it off and threaded the other end with the finer thread for the manifold nut. Cheap and easy. Chris
