1. When i'm taking the old manifold off, what happens if the whole stud comes out of the head? When I put the header on, can I just screw the stud in like a bolt? Do I put any loctite on the threads?
Thats all for now.

i just did a 92 header on a 97 sl2 i just reused it as long as the bolts and the nuts were messed up i reused them., saved me like 25 bux from buying new shit from dealer you only tighten them to like 37lbs so they arent meant to be that hard.
i had 2 that stayed in the head and i had 3 that came out all as 1 piece.
no leaks or any problems.2004 Ion Redline Blue sunroof, advance audio, nexen rubber more to come..

Same with both of my cars. 2 stayed in the head, 3 came out completely. I've never had any problems with either leaking there. If you are really concerned you can get all new hardware but I don't think you really need it. I'm gonna do it on my rebuild though since everything else will be new.

when we replaced the stock manifold with a 91-92 header on the $2004 Challenge SL2, to save $ we reused *everything*. Can't remember for sure, but we might've even reused the gaskets. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/lol.gif[/img]

What if I have 1 extra stud?[quote author="S.Bretz"]I couldn't get mine off when I was 16, I had to have someone else that was stronger then me pull it off. He almost took it in the fore head.
