very accurate and tight fit. I used these for the intake studs of the AMC heads.

Fabulous

Full vs partial threads aren't equal

The stock 38mm studs are partially threaded and, when torqued, leave adequate stick out for the flange + nut for the exhaust pipes. Fully threaded 38mm don't torque until they bottom out in the threaded hole of the head. This leaves just 11mm or so protruding from the port face, 9.5 for the exhaust pipe flange and the rest, approximately 1 round of thread, for the nut. Fully threaded 38mm studs can not be installed correctly and also hold the exhaust flange on. FYI

Good

Freshies

Nice to have fresh hardware instead of rusty old stuff - especially where it goes in the head.

Too short for heat exchangers

Will not work on air cooled
