Hi Guys,
Silly question here but none the less must ask.
I'm refurbing my 3B head and inevitably 3 exhaust manifold studs have sheared. Not to worry head is off so access is not a problem for repair.
However, the good studs that have been removed measure M8 x 50mm, where as, according to Vagcat they should be M8 x 35??
Now i'm confused as to what size i should order??
Is the 35mm measurement the amount that protrudes from the head when screwed in against the non threaded part? i assume it is but just want to be sure before i order the wrong ones.
Also, should i attempt to remove the remaining 13 studs to replace or leave them as they are as that will no doubt lead to many more sheared studs!!
As always, thanks in advance
Gordon
