Advice on Exhaust Manifold Nuts
I've searched and all I can come up with is threads about the turbo separating, or the wastegate. What have people done to lock the manifold nuts? I know stage 8's are a good locking fastener, but they only offer bolts. Is it ok to replace the studs with bolts? I feel the threads in the head aren't really designed for that type of force, but maybe someone has better experience than me. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
