I'd have to buy longer studs, first.

Speaking of which: Two of the studs on the manifold I bought from Bill were not straight, so I decided to put nuts on them and tap with a hammer until the studs were straight. This plan worked for straightening the studs, but when I tried turning the nuts out, the studs came out.

I have school work to do right now, so I am leaving the car alone for the rest of the weekend. I will not have a chance to get back to the car until after my final exams later this week, so I have a little while to make up my mind what to do about this. In the meantime, I have an apartment to pack.
