    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Studded your exhaust?

I studded my head in the hopes of never having to drill out another &*#@% broken bolt and I found two things that might be of use.

1: Exhaust manifold studs from a Volvo 240 are about perfect as far as depth into the head and threaded length out of the head. I just happened to have a coffee can of these.

2: Use Honda (auto) manifold nuts. These are castellated (split into 6/8 parts) on the end and grip the stud so they wont vibrate off.

I figure with studs and these nuts I can slather on the anti-seize and not have to worry about stripped/broken bolts anymore.

I had the studs already and I got the nuts in a "pick your own" junkyard along with a bunch of other hardware. Daewoo cars have some nice black socket head cap screws in 8x1.25 too.

Just an update on this...

Not ALL Hondas use these nuts so you might have to look at a few to find them. They seem to be plated with something too as very few were rusted at all.

Go to Fastenal. Almost every big city has one, they have every fastener know to man...
 
I didn't have much luck at Fastenal in Longmont, but Colorado Fastener had a good selection of metric. AAA Metrics in Denver has an even better selection. Ray
