Zig,
If you are going to replace the manifold/head studs with S.S. ones here's a thought: The purpose of the long studs and sleeves is to accommodate the expansion and contraction as the fasteners heat up. The stud and the sleeve both get longer as they heat up with the result that they apply constant, consistent pressure to that joint. As they cool down the sleeves shrink but so do the studs. Without the sleeves the manifold would come loose whenever the studs were hot. So I'm wondering whether you are going to use S.S. sleeves on those studs?
