Re: broken exhaust manifold studs? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Mon, 22 Nov 2004 08:49:19 In Reply to: broken exhaust manifold studs?, Bill7, Sun, 21 Nov 2004 22:59:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Happens on 99 to 100% of all 900/9000 with turbo engines.
It seems to have slowed down though with the NG900, 9-3 and 9-5 engines.
Any time the cylinder head or exhaust manifold is removed, the 4 long studs should be replaced.
I have for several years now used the same shorter stud that is installed in the center of the manifold even at the four outer positions and it seem to work fine.
