Expand It's a bit like "can you use threaded rod for wheel studs?" Yeh you could and it might even work, but would you bother ? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92537-make-own-studs-for-turbo-and-manifold/page/3/#findComment-1616211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean and my first thought when I opened the thread no pun intended was why cheap out on such a simple but important part. But @eff xr6t made a valid suggestion backed up with fact.

Expand Exactly. Take a look at the location of the unthreaded section of the stud. Guess where that needs to sit.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 2d Gender: Male Posted 12/10/16 03:05 AM Share Posted 12/10/16 03:05 AM Phuck studs, for the manifold to head, I make sure that all the threads on the head are tapped right down to the bottom by running a tap to the bottom. Then I use allen key headed grade 8 bolts with nordlock washers. I measure for the right size bolt so when tightened up the thread grabs to the bottom of the hole. (I know you are not meant to tighten bolts into ally but it works if plenty of thread) Yes there are two holes where you need to elongate the hole a little to get the bolt in but no big deal, you can use studs there if you want. Pretty much the same on the turbo except two bolt holes do need elongation to get the allen key headed bolts in. I have other ways I secure studs but if I explained it you would call me crazy. The point is a stud and nut on its own will always loosen.
