So i picked up a hondata intake manifold gasket for my LS ( its real, dont worry. ) and i went to go put it on, lined up the manifold and more than half the studs only sticks out about 3cm. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

i bought some longer studs for my ls when i put my hondata gasket on. if you can thread the nuts on all the way on to the stud it will be ok, but it cant hurt to go a little longer. also check out the hardware store vs buying a kit. you would be surprised
