exhaust manifold install (1 Viewer)

[laro]

Hi guy's;
I am a newbie on this forum, located in Westrern Canada, with a RJ 70, imported from europe, I think in australia there called bundera's( has a 22R carburated engine), with a cracked exhaust manifold. Going to replace it with new manifold and also new studs and hardware.
I am wondering if it is a good idea to use high temp thread lock on the treads going into the cilinder head ? Or will this give problems when ever i have to take the manifold apart in the future, like risk of stripping threads in the cilinder head.

Thanks, Ronald.

Nope, don't need it. Studs don't tend to loosen off. Just make sure the holes and threads are clean and dry, or use a little light oil when you to the install.
