Is anyone using stainless studs or bolts?
I hate to have a set of nice painted manifolds with rusty hardware.
I read that some use stainless studs with brass washers and nuts.
Exhaust Manifold Bolts
Re: Exhaust Manifold Bolts
many good reasons to use stainless hardware. sooo much easier if you ever need to remove the manifolds, and they do look better. tsc has a good selection, at least in our local store.

Make sure you use Anti-seize compound any time you use stainless steel or any time you use disimiliar metals together.
If you continue to buy imports, where will your children work?

Anytime I install exhaust manifold bolts I use anti-seize . I once read where someone used something else that supposedly was used in boilers. I'm thinking it was milk of magnesia, but not positive on that.
