BLKnight thanks never heard if "cone" washers any suggestions of a good starting place to look?

Call me Baz:D

Phoned Coventry Fasteners and they said they have “cup” washers however didn’t think they would be any use on a manifold? Said if I can give a better description they would see what they can do. Most helpful. So can anyone enlighten me! (Nicely)

I have the standard studs in the garage somewhere, they are 8mm and the 300Tdi are 10mm, if you want I'll check to see how many 8mm standards I have and if you decide on them you can have them.

Baz,

Most generous offer and thanks.

I’m doing this job as preventative maintenance and don’t believe I have any stud failures. So I’m hoping to get away with elongating the manifold holes. If I do find they’ve failed then I then I’ll go to the 300’s

Thanks again for the offer.

ive got a broken stud on mine........the top one on No.1 cyl.......
it broke flush with the head.......i now have to drill it out.........





heres a question for everyone.....

will removing the webbing from the exhaust manifold weaken the manifold and cause it to crack......???
as cast iron is not really reknown for its flexibilty.......



or is the webbing whats expanding and pushing on the studs......?



personally.....looking at the manifold.......it doesnt seem too strong.....
and with the webbing removed.......it looks as though its gonna just crack through......

does anyone make extractors for the Td5....???

thanks......that was an interesting read......

took my manifold off last night and took in to work today.......
and its still sitting on my bench.......didnt get a chance to touch it.......we were flat out today........tomorrow looks to be the same......


i did manage to put a straight edge against it.........and its bent like a banana.......

i was thinking of painting it yellow........

it was lifted up on the ends......im surprised only one stud broke.......
