Replace standard bolt with studs or bolts?
Hey Guys,
I have been to a few places in my area. Cant seem to find a place that sells the grade 8 studs that everyone talks about, to use on the manifold.
I have found a place that sells M8 1.25 X 35mm which I figure would be okay?
I really only want to do this once and forget about it.
Do you think that a bolt and regular split washer would be okay?
Thanks for the help

Downpipe to turbo hardware? Get studs with nuts if possible. It's a PITA to get bolts out of the downpipe without taking the turbo off the mani. I made that mistake and paid for it last week.

Yeah, I put one nut on and then tightened the other against it to put the studs into the head. Used Loctite and then backed off the two nuts and then put on the nordlock washers and tightened them down pretty snug. Then I put a second nut on top of that. STILL came loose.
I'm going to try bolts with the nordlocks. If that comes loose I am seriously going to put in bolts and tack weld them to the turbo housing. I just don't get it. I don't mean to turn anyone away from studs, this seems to be an isolated problem. It's just....damn.
