the intake manifold head studs for a GSR are longer than the one for the LS.

i recently tried putting in a hondata IM gasket with a skunk2 im, but when it came to bolting it on, the head studs were barely long enough to successfully bolt on tightly. now i have a leak that lets the coolant out.

i heard somewhere that the GSR head studs for the intake manifold are longer. so im thinking maybe i can use them.'

what do you think?

 

Studs are the same length. They share the same part #.

 

ok im screwed then

 

what you can do is back the stud out a few turns and that might be enough to fix it for yah


the other option is to buy ARP extended studs

the OHTER option is to remove studs and use longer bolts instead

 

i hand the same problem when i put my hondata gasket what got to is grab two nuts and put it on and lock em by screwing them together then extract what ever length that you need so you can bolt it back on. Did it with mine no leaks

 

Did you make sure to tottaly remove the stock gasket?

 

yeah and that was a pita. now i got another problem. the six nuts that hold the intake manifold are not coming off. the threads of the nut inside, i think, are stripped. this sucks
