I put headers on the 1992 camaro 3.1 . The passenger side header blows the #4 clyinder part of the gasket after two days. On that part of the head there are two studs. The other two exhaust ports have the bolts that hold the header on. Is there any way to thread those studs and get a bolt on them so they keep the header tight?

 

get 2 nuts that fit the studs screw a nut on so there is room to get the second nut on after.once both nuts are one tighten both nuts against each other.

once u have tightened them put a wrench on the nut closest to the cyl head and lossen it. it shoudl turn the stud.

id pray the stud down with some pb blaster or other penetrating oil before u attempt to remove it.
putting antisieze on the new bolts will prevent them from freezing up if u ever have to remove them again.if u dont have any of that rubbing a graphite pencil across the thread also works

 

ok..i didnt think those studs would come out..thanks.

 

does anyone make copper header gaskets for our motors?
