I am thinking that I should probably swap out these bolts for studs and nuts, since I don't ever want have to worry about bottoming the bolt out and then stripping out the tr eads when torqueing them per spec., etc. So my question is what are most of you all flying with...studs or bolts? Also, if I add studs, is there a product anyone can recommend (such as a loc tite type product) that will help keep the stud from backing out but also survive in the high temp environment by the exhaust manifold? Is the RED Loctite made for this type of duty factor? Thanks for any information.
