Exhaust Manifold "Stud" Removal/Replacement
EDIT: (11/28/2006)
I need the following information from anyone who may have some insight...
I believe the Studs are either M8 or M10 but I need to find out what pitch. Does anyone know what thread and pitch they are as well as length of bolts needed to replace them?
I am going to be picking up locking nuts and the Grade 8 bolts to replace the studs in order to make installation and removal of the turbo/exhaust manifold much easier in the future.
Thanks,
Carl

I've replaced various manifolds on several Evos and not once have I had to replace studs. But I can see how it could happen since there is so much heat in that area. I think replacing the studs is a precautionary step (if needed) sorta thing.

I have replaced my manifold.
Make sure you take off the downpipe. if you play with the manifold long enough you should be able to get it off without removing the studs, I know I didnt take out the studs.
Good luck with the install
