Re: Water Leak at Exhaust Manifold stud

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Usually just needs some sealer on the threads and let it set up. Before you 
add header, put a small bead around the stud again, and install header. I 
have a stud or two that are a real pain in the ass sometimes. Once it is 
sealed, it should be fine. Pull the studs and install new if needed.

Good luck.
Donnie
