Stud too close to manifold - any advice?
Just finished a shakedown/first drive before I get the car tuned and the final thing I need to do is figure out how to get this last exhaust manifold nut on. The CXRacing manifold was shaved on the top of cylinder 3, but not enough to get the nut on. I shaved the nut down and removed the washer part of it but still can't get it on. I don't want to grind the manifold anymore as it will probably put a hole on it. I went to the hardware store and couldn't find anything smaller than the nut I grinded down. The only thing I could think of is figuring out how to remove the stud without using the double-nut method and then using a long stud with a spacer to clear the manifold. Do you guys have any advice for me? Thanks in advance, I'll keep an eye on this thread for a few days.
