Tightening the studs...

The studs on these cars are notorious for snapping when tightened. I guess the proper fix is to pull the manifold, replace the gasket and use new aftermarket studs that won't snap.
But mine's been ticking for 7 years now and I've just lived with it. I have one stud that is completely snapped off, too. I need a headgasket, so I guess this is the time to fix it!
