After removing the manifold on my 120 I found the the front stud was barely holding on. There was hardly any thread left in the block so I drilled it out, installed a helicoil and installed the original stud size. It's held up well with no problems. I also installed the manifolds as posted by HH56. I tightened the 2 manifolds together at the hot spot using a straight edge on the faces, installed the manifold to block, torqued and then loosened the the 3 hot spot bolts, rechecked the manifold to block torque and then torqued the hot spot bolts.
