Subject:      studs or bolts on exhaust
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi everyone,

The engine is going to have to come back out of
my 88 Westy, Billy Bones, and when I put it back
in - and I'm not sure when that will be - I was
wondering whether it is okay to replace those
exhaust manifold studs with bolts.  Why are bolts
used on some head connections and studs on others?
