I had planned on replacing the exhaust manifold bolts on my 142f with studs seeing as so many people have broken them off or stripped the threads in the block. I figure I'll be retightening these quite often and do not want any issues to deal with in the future. Good luck finding 5mm studs and when (if ) you do, take a deep breath before looking at the prices. So..... I have decided to drill these to 1/4-20 and use American studs instead. I am seriously considering putting 4 studs in the mounting holes also. Maybe Americanize them too.
