I haven't seen this asked anywhere, but can we use bolts to install the exhaust manifold instead of the studs? I get that the studs are probably used just to keep the threads in the head from being stripped, but why wouldn't the intake side also use studs? Only asking since I have 2 broken studs and can only remove them with an extractor now. But is this a viable idea?
