Upon making an effort to reinstall the stock exhaust manifold, I stripped out the stud that goes from the turbo exhaust housing to the manifold. Coincidentally, it was the last one to be secured. So, now I have the entire manifold bolted up again except for that one last stud/nut. Now, I can probably get it out with some channel-locks and a mapp gas torch I have access to but, I've got a question first.
Can I use a regular bolt in the studs place so that I have four regular bolts? This is not the first time I've had trouble with that stud and probably not the last. I would rather put a regular bolt (like the other three) in its place if at all possible to prevent this from happening but I want to be sure before I go out and buy one. In short, I'm needing either a single bolt that goes from the exhaust housing to the exhaust manifold or the stud with a nut. I'd like to buy used and not go to Mitsu for the butt raping on this one and any input is welcome. Thanks Brett -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
