Exhaust manifold stud came out with nut... Quick question.

[DSMRevolution]

When I was removing my exhaust manifold a couple studs came out along with the nut. Does that mean that I stripped the head where the studs screw in at? I haven't had time to look at it yet today. If so, what size Helicoil kit do it need? Its just the center 8mm ones. Is there anything that costs a bit less then Helicoil? Thanks

no it just means the stud came out with the nut. take the nut off and screw the stud back in the head.
