O.K. this one was handed to us on a platter.

When I am tired after a good shagging would that qualify as an exhausted stud...oh sorry, I misread the question. You are inquiring about an exhaust stud:)

If thats you in your avitar i would say you would be exhausted

Run down to your local Home Depot, Lowes, hardware store, what ever and get a 6mm bolt of the right length or longer. Cut the head off leaving one 6mm exhaust stud! Either run a nut or if you have one a thread chaser over the cut end. Price of this project?, probably less than a buck and about 10 minutes work!

Note of caution ---

Recall reading in a previous post that some of the stud holes end up very close to an oil channel in the head.

If using a tap to clean up the threads before screwing in the new stud (or doing drilling or any other work inside the thread hole), be careful not to cut on through the deep end and into an oil channel.

Just FYI

Not a good idea. Exhaust studs have slightly different threads on the two ends. The end that goes into the head is larger in diameter to bite into the head material. If you use a bolt with the head chopped off, the stud wll be slighly undersized and will likely come loose or worse strip the thread out of the head.

To see which end is which, you cannot thread a nut on the larger end of the stud.

6mm studs are readily available in most autoparts stores. I have bought both 6 and 8mm studs through Maryland Metric.

Thanks Jeff. I've never done what I suggested, it just sounded good in theory. I can be KZMoron at times, learn a lot here. Thanks for the info...

I would just buy a bolt from the harware store and screw that sucker in there.
