Hey all;

Two of the studs on at the bottom of my exhaust manifold (TR3A) were
broken-off
in the manifold and I have now drilled them out. The third stud was missing
altogether
and that hole has no threads in it.

In your opinion, am I better off trying to re-thread the manifold (to say,
5/16-24) or
to use Grade 8 bolts and nuts, or....?

Thanks,

Dave Friedlander
