Anyone have any of these kits lying around that they want to sell? I bought them a while back from a lister named Paul.


I am trying to at least track down where I can buy the cylinder exhaust manifold studs and the downpipe studs with the hexed drive cut into the end....

Wasn't it a Saturn Part?

I used some from the Saturn Dealership long ago.


EDIT -- I believe that the Saturn studs were Torx and not Hex. Not the ones you are looking for.

I want to say they are an outward pointing torx too - not cut into the stud in other words....

Happy New Year to you

Thanks for the link - mighty proud they are of that "kit" $47.60 in exhaust studs....

Many GM cars besides saturns used those manifold studs so they are fairly easy to source. 3.1 3.4 2.2 2.4 engines all had them they had a lock nut on them as well usually when removing them the whole stud comes out of the head. You could source plenty at a wrecker if all else fails

McMaster has them

8x45


10x40 in stainless or steel

Wow Mike! Thanks - that is perfect. I had looked on McMaster but I guess didn't know the right search term.

Ordering now

Any ideas on where I could find those locking copper nuts? Looking on McMaster now with no luck.

MikeV

If anyone's looking for copper header nuts, try Belmetric, same nuts as Eagle day at half the price.

Travis at Rennbay has what you want/need!

He has the kit (which is great), but it doesn't have the hex exhaust studs.

Buy 8 more of the 8x45 studs for the intake manifold too - it reduces the risk of pulling the threads out of the aluminum head with repeated R&R's, and they make the task of holding the intake manifold gaskets in place a breeze while putting the manifold on.

Travis - sflraver

I should have stainless ones in about 2 weeks, reasonable pricing. They are just finishing up now.
