Our engines have studs & nuts, not bolts.  So it's not an issue.  No way
for it to bottom out, like a bolt into a blind hole could.

It is recommended that you replace the studs.  They have a nasty habit of
snapping off in the head, esp on older cars with more fatigue.

Hey... does ARP or anyone make high-strength studs to fit there?  I am
probably installing a HS header I've had around for 3 years on the NX this
weekend.  I've got  new factory studs, but like the idea of an upgraded
fastener.
