This comprehensive kit contains 100 assorted engine manifold studs and nuts suitable for both inle...This comprehensive kit contains 100 assorted engine manifold studs and nuts suitable for both inlet and exhaust manifolds, featuring the most common M8 and M10 sizes. It is common for manifold studs to shear or break due to corrosion and thousands of thermal expansion cycles. The studs are threaded at both ends and can be cut to length. The kit includes copper flashed steel nuts for anti-seize properties and brass nuts for high-temperature corrosion resistance. M8 x 1.25mm stud lengths included are 35, 37, 40, 41, 42, 43, 45, and 47mm, while M10 x 1.5mm stud lengths included are 38, 40, and 52mm. Nut sets comprise M8 copper flashed 13mm Hex nuts, M8 brass 13mm Hex nuts, M10 copper flashed 14mm Hex nuts, and M10 brass 17mm Hex nuts. Applications include a wide range of manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, BMW, Chrysler, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Mazda, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Honda, Vauxhall, Opel, Saab, Renault, Volvo, and Volkswagen Audi Group.
This 100-piece Engine Inlet and Exhaust Manifold Stud and Nut Kit by Connect is designed for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts who perform engine maintenance on a wide range of global vehicle brands. It provides a comprehensive selection of M8 and M10 hardware essential for replacing studs that have sheared due to corrosion or thermal fatigue. While the kit covers the most common thread pitches and lengths, users should verify their specific vehicle's required stud length before installation, as incorrect sizing can lead to improper manifold seating.

FAQs
Are these studs suitable for turbocharger flanges?
Yes, the high-temperature capabilities of the included materials make them suitable for exhaust applications, including turbo flanges.
Can I use these on any car manufacturer?
The kit covers most common M8 and M10 sizes used by major brands like Ford, Honda, BMW, and VAG, but you must verify your specific model's requirements.
Why include both copper-flashed and brass nuts?
Copper-flashed nuts help prevent seizing, while brass nuts offer superior resistance to corrosion in extreme temperature environments.
What is the hex size for the included nuts?
The M8 nuts use a 13mm hex, while the M10 nuts use 14mm and 17mm hex sizes depending on the material.
How do I cut the studs to size?
Use a hacksaw or a cut-off tool, and be sure to file the cut end smooth so the nut can be threaded on without damaging the threads.
Troubleshooting
Nut does not thread onto the stud easily
Check the thread pitch (M8x1.25 or M10x1.5) to ensure a match and inspect the stud end for burrs caused by cutting.
Stud feels loose in the cylinder head
Verify if the original threads in the block have been stripped during previous removal; a helicoil or thread repair may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installing new studs, ensure the engine block or cylinder head threads are clean and free of debris using a thread chaser. When replacing existing studs, measure the original length accurately. If a stud in the kit is too long, cut it to the required size and deburr the end to ensure the nut threads on smoothly. When using the brass nuts, avoid overtightening as brass is softer than steel and can strip if the torque specification is exceeded. Always use a high-temperature anti-seize compound on the threads to further extend the life of the components.
