Title: Missing exhaust studs?
Post by: wazzu70 on May 30, 2010, 04:42:14 PM

My head has only three exhaust studs per cylinder. I am not very familiar with the M42 so I do not know if this is out of the ordinary or not.

The head is not even machined/tapped to accept a stud in the places they are missing.

Is this normal, or do I have something funky going on?

Thanks, I looked that header and noticed that no holes were drilled either. Interesting.
