Exhaust Manifold to Head Stud

[FreeBeeTony]

Am going to be R&Ring my exhaust manifolds and wand to use studs while removing and replacing.
What is the thread size and is there a P/N for the stud I want?

 

[Rick Stephens]

I think those are just 3/8th course, (or 5/16th, now that you ask I don't recall which)) All thread or long bolts with the heads cutoff work perfectly.. No use spending extra for studs.

want to use studs while removing and replacing

They are 3/8-16 bolts, but I wouldn't recommend using studs, they will rust up. Now if your thought is to put a couple long studs to support while installing then yes. As Rick mentioned use all thread or long bolts with the head cut off

 

[FreeBeeTony]

Yes......just using for support while removing/installing.
All thread is a great idea!!

I can use automotive gaskets...........correct?

Ayuh,.... 3/8" - 16,.... I took a couple of 5" or 6" bolts, cut the heads off, 'n use 'em on the ends to hold the gaskets in place to slide the manifolds on, put the other bolts in, 'n finally remove my mountin' studs, 'n install the last of the bolts,...

Fel-pro 1404 is what I use for gaskets,...

Most are multi-piece, see above for the ones I use,...

Thanks Bondo....

I suggest grade 8 bolts with the heads cut off. all-thread is generally grade 2 and bend under the weight of the manifold

1 piece header gasket As for lomg bolts , extra riser bolts with the heads cut odd and either a slot from a hacksaw or 2 filed flat spots to grab with a wrench
