As you all can see in my previous exhaust picture, my 13B has bolts to hold
the exhaust manifold on (which is the way that Tommy James flew it in his
Glastar for 50 hrs. or so) before I bought it. 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 treads 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.
