Installing AGP Kit need help with putting in bolts in front of flanging

[Wayney_Boy]

So yeah I got the manifold on but there are three areas where I cannot absolutely fit a bolt in. Anyone got any ideas, is there a special bolt I need or somethin.

[mole']

what areas?

[ppx]

there are studs that are included with the kit that replace the stock bolts.

The studs get put in before you put the manifold on the head.. then you put the bolts on them. I just went through this. what a nightmare.

oh, the centerones on top of the mani

well I'm driving to AGP tomorrow after school to pick up some studs, another gasket for 02 and what ever else I need

[nutz]

lol, just loosen up all the nuts and slide the manifold away from the head untill you can fit all the bolts on .....then tighten em all up

if you are using the arp studs you will need a 10mm 16 pt open end wrench (they are only sold for brake bleeding)

arp studs FTW!!!!

You have to put a set screw in the head first.
