I had a few of the studs on my exhaust manifold break about a month of ago and replaced them. I thought they broke because my motor mounts where busted. I replaced the studs and motor mounts 5 days ago. Today i checked under the hood and another stud has broken off again. Any ideas on how to keep it from doing this again? I hate pulling the turbo manifold off and getting the studs out!!!
Thanks

ARP makes a headstud kit for hondas.

We use them, they are great

 

Im not have a problem with the head studs, but the studs that hold the turbo manifold onto the motor. Does arp make those too?

 

yes, arp exhaust manifold studs. ( sorry didn't mention that in the first post )

 

does the turbo have a brace to support the weight? if not i'd have one made. that should solve your problem.

 

no it doesnt. Its the inline pro one.

 

Yes and you need to get the Dodge SRT4 studs and they will fit our head. I have them and haven't had one problem. Talk to Ya at Inline and he should be able to get them for you as that's who I had order them for me.

 

i just ordered a set as well! Any advice on how to get a broken exhaust stud out of the head?

 

Going to have to drill them out

 

I heard somewhere that a torque damper would help this.. no? Reduce the engine lash..?
