i noticed newer b series have 2 studs and the rest bolts for the exhaust port of the motor. i wanted to switch to all bolts because the studs always break. especially the one closest to the clutch slave cylinder. and when they break its a pain in the *** to replace because theres no space. so what do u guys recommend if im going stainless steel log manifold (maxrev). thanks in advance.

btw: is it ok to run a rubber oil return line? or is a steelbraid one better?

DONT use a rubber oil line, you will have problems in the long term.

I purchase 1" longer studs for all the holes on the exhaust side of the head. I bought them in grade 12 hardness, then used loctite to set them into place. I then purchased stainless steel nuts and internal lock washers for the studs. The idea is to run the stainless steel ones with the internal lock washers, then run the factory ones over top of those. I had alot of problems with the nuts coming off on me.
