Well, okay -- going around the engine and replacing the bolts and nuts
(my engine has some of each) with brass sounds like a fun-filled weekend
project, considering how tucked away some of those fasteners are.

I only had to remove two exhaust fasteners to get the tin down. My
previous car was a 71 bay window and those studs are famous for snapping
off. I was white-knuckling the removal of these two fasteners, I can
tell ya.

Are the 1.9's fasteners more robust?
