On the subject of the studs stripping out, my block has one oversized stud holding the manifolds on. Also one of the studs screwed out of the block when I was removing the manifold, and there was alot of rust corrosion on the end of the stud. Water seeps in from the jacket, and corrodes the threads. Another reason to make sure the water jacket studs have a good sealer on them.
