Exhaust Manifold trouble

Yes, good catch. I did the job just over a week ago and the bolt head was still in the vice. The two 3/8” studs I had to replace are 1.5” and 1.625” long.

I had brass nuts on them. You can see (red arrow) where the brass thread failed. Changed over to the original spec bronze after having read a very informative post by @Roger_Payne on the subject.
