Hello--

This exhaust thread got me thinking. My relatively new to me 83.5 Westy had a
rebuilt water cooled engine that was "installed" by a DPOs "mechanic."

On my bus the exhaust is bolted to the heads with bolts. It would seem to me
that the heads would correctly have studs with nuts holding the exhaust in
place. My fear is when I have to change the exhaust those bolts won't move or
will sheer. (but maybe the studs would as well?)

But anyway, the question is should there be studs coming out of the heads for
the exhaust. Or is this bolted configuration OK?

TIA
Jeff
