Just as the title says, there isnt enough room to put the nuts onto the studs for my turbo manifold to bolt onto the head. Im using a really thick gasket, anyone think it would be alright to skip out on one of them?

 

i had to take out my studs and use bolts. i recomend you do that for the nut that doesnt fit.

 

u have to have them all loose so u can pul the manifold out and go in AS ur tightting the tight ones, or ur beat and bought a **** mani

gonna try that... good idea!

 

or you can use longer studs, I had to do that cause my first manifold had a super thick head flange and very little clearance for bolts.

Right! You have to just barely put the manifold on and then as the manifold goes on tighten the hard to get to nuts. Im guessing you have ram horn and your trying to get the nuts on the sides?

got it- just had to do the two ones that i coudlnt get first, then push the manifold in and do the rest- Im using M8 1.25 pitch 20mm long SS grade 8.8 bolts for a few of them- they work great!
