I want to buy or make a jig for drilling out manifold studs while the head is mounted to the engine. Any leads, or thoughts on design? CJ |

I would make a plate that looks like the manifold gasket except that it shouldn't have port openings. The stud holes should be drilled oversize to accept a hardened drill bushing. I think it should be at least 1/2" thick. |

I've got a couple exhaust manifolds so will make a tracing of them and see where they average out. I was looking for drill bushings for an "F" and was having a time of it finding someplace I could buy just one F, and a bunch of 5/16" bushings. They seem to come in sets of varying sizes. They would have to be removable types so the "F" bushing could be placed in the needed location. Right now all I have is 1/4 flat stock in an appropriate length. I'll stop off at the steel company here locally and get some 1/2" or thicker flat stock and build it. They may have the drill bushings or availability also. Do you have a drawing of the stud and port locations? I can compare that to what I find on the manifolds and see how things line up. Thanks! CJ |

The second link worked, the first didn't. Well, yep. The F drill bushing would work. Yep. Studs for the manifold to head. Silly me.  I'll just use a gasket to measure things up. I'll eventually get this figured out. I can double check dimensions on my spare head. Thanks! CJ |
