Going to 10mm Studs for Exhaust Manifold
#4
Such a hard question.
Open Google
Type "metric to standard calculator"
Click first link
Enter 10mm
It will tell give you a decimal approximation of inches. Find a drill bit this size or bigger.
Or, using your brain (gasp) and a calculator: 10mm = 1cm. 2.54 cm in an inch so using a calculator, that's 1/2.54 = .394 inches. A 3/8 drill bit is .3875 inches, so that's close and a common size. You could just drill them 3/8 and then woller the holes a bit to get the last few thousandths.

I asked this b/c I wasn't sure about how much expansion/contraction I would need to account for w/ all the heating/cooling cycles.
I thought I remember reading somewhere (maybe Abe?) where the holes were drilled too small and b/c of expansion/contraction caused it to crack. Hence, my question.
However, this might have been a figment of my imagination.
