🚗 Vehicle-Specific Notes

Honda
Studs common. 12mm flange nuts. Soak 24hrs with penetrant. Replace gasket and all hardware.
Toyota
Manifold studs break frequently. Have stud extractor ready. Replace with new studs.
Ford
5.4L Triton: manifold studs are NOTORIOUS for breaking. Budget for stud extraction.
Extra tools: Stud extractor set, welder (for broken studs)
Subaru
Boxer: header on each side. Easier access than V-engines. Studs still seize.
Chevrolet
LS engines: manifold bolts (not studs). 10mm. Easier than stud-based manifolds.
