you can put two on but that is normally only because either the head or exhaust is not flat enough for one
sometimes a bit of gun gum can help

start doing them up from the middle outwards to pull it in evenly

make sure the studs are right into the head, if not your nut goes up to the blank part on the stud and appears to be tight but the manifold isnt! u wont need to replace them unless the threads are buggered, exhaust paste :o only kidding!

erm... i thought the studs were like welded or attached to the head :boggle: i can understand replacing the nuts but not the studs .... its also a bit hard to get a torque wrench to some of the bolts :(

Use new studding and nuts, then torque the whole lot up evenly and to the correct torque.
