In Reply to: Exhaust Studs on Cylinder Heads posted by David Brown on July 16, 2000 at 23:03:41:


Hi! 4 of my exhaust studs need replacing, and the other 4 are pretty rusty and don't thread real well. I want to replace the whole set of them.

Could I have some advice from anyone who has ever done this. Where did you buy the new studs? Does someone sell a kit that has new thread inserts or did you custom build it? Has anyone considered using stainless steel inserts? I think the only problem with the stainless steel might be the expansion rate of the cylinder head as compared to the aluminum cylinder head (it is aluminum, correct?).

Any input will be greatly appreciated

David Brown
