IML: Ill Fitting Ex Manifold

I've had broken exhaust manifold studs that have lead to leaks developing.
Upon visual inspection, one particular stud w/nut didn't look broken but
when I put a wrench to it, it revealed the absence of it's engineered
intent, and fell right out. It seems a common trouble. Eventually, the
manifold develops a crack. It is preventative maintenence to replace the
studs and nuts every score of years.
One more thing to put on my to-do list.

Dave,
It is at least as likely that you have a cracked manifold, or just a loose
bolt or two. I had to occasionally tighten the exhaust manifold bolts on my
72 New Yorker, passenger side, to keep it sealed. It never led to anything
worse. Worth a try - at least it would be if on the passenger side.
