EVO Chris Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I used stainless, had the system on and off a few times over the years with no issues, a useful splodge of copper grease with the threads has always been applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzlt Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I did the same as Chris M8 A4 Stainless with spring washers because I had some. Been apart again since and no problems. I could just about make out the makings on some of the exhaust bolts (maybe the ones in the heads). They are nothing special high tensile or anything so shouldn’t matter too much what you use. Unless you have a TVR then I recon Nordlock ones are the answer. This is another method (for me to work and back). You can see quite clearly how the studs are held with just one tack. This is how I got them out. Easy. Getting the manifold to the vice however 😡😭 Only snapped 2 in the cylinder heads 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are home made (bodged) with bolts and bent washers but they have been on the car for 2 years and past 2 MOT's so not too bad. Will get around to a proper job sometime...

entdgc Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 @bally4563 Hi Mick, Cant PM you but... I am now in possession of a set of gaskets and stainless nuts/bolts so can go ahead with stud removal at your convenience. I am retired so can do just about any time given a bit of warning. Not sure what your garage situation is but might need to wait for a weather window? As I said the car has been like this for 2 years so absolutely no rush just let me know....
