    You should have a look at the JE Engineering Stud kit.

    I've posted a couple of links the other day in another thread:

    http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...ain-turbo.html

    I can't personally vouch for their efficacy but they seem a popular fix in the UK. You need to email for a pricing and to place an order but as I ordered a set without gasket a couple of days ago and paid £35 + £7 postage.

    cheers

    I've done over 20K Km on stock studs and a skimmed manifold. There has been no sign of warping as yet.

    I think retorquing the manifold nuts after a couple of weeks driving probably makes a difference to manifold survival regardless of what studs you are using.

    cheers

    High Tensile Studs are appealing however if the manifold does warp, is it going to rip the threads out of the head? i.e. should the studs be the 'weak point' in the design rather than the head?

    I would rather replace studs than a head any day, but the other alternative is to use high tensile studs with copper nuts - theoretically the nuts would give way (strip) before the studs broke.

    I came across the following which has that combination. LAND ROVER TD5 UPRATED WURTH MANIFOLD STUDS X10 AND COPPER NUTS X10 | eBay

    I have not made up my mind yet which way to go, but the high tensile studs and the copper nuts do appeal to my sense of 'it sounds logical'

    In future I will definitely be checking the studs / nuts on a regular basis

    Cheers
    Ian

    Will you enlarge the manifold holes to allow these longer studs to flex?
    I figured it is a shearing load breaking the studs? I drilled the holes 1,2,4,5 to the next size after the manifold was milled, 6000ks so far all okay.
    Good luck.
