Stainless steel exhaust studs - anyone use them?

[Jeff K]

Anyone use Stainless steel exhaust studs? I have my heads off ready for a recon, and I read on truck forums that use stainless steel exhaust studs with Aluminum bronze nuts so they don't gall together.

If so what size are these?


Thanks
Jeff
PS - I used an airgun to take the nuts off the exhaust, didn't break a single stud.

You are going to have a lot of trouble finding S/S studs the size you need. Brass nuts are the best but if you use Never-Seize you can use steel nuts. PJ Grady sells a kit of studs and nuts but it isn't cheap!
