snakedoc67 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Went to check the intake/exhaust manifold bolts on my MJ and I am missing the two lowermost outside ones on the exhaust manifold, listed as bolts 10 and 11 in the 1990 Service Manual page 11-10. When i walked thru the parts yard all they had was 90+ XJs and they had a nut and stud arrangement. Was the earlier renix a bolt that attached here or is it a stud and nut arrangement as well, which in that case I am missing the studs as well.

ParadiseMJ Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My 88 and 90 both have studs & nuts on the ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Studs and nuts You could use bolts.....it is just a guess but I think the stud nut configuration is just for ease of install...the intake has 2 dowel pins to line up with and the exhaust uses the end bolts. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 are you sure your not talking about the exhaust mani bolts which are prone to breaking off? it was a common problem, at least on the 2.5's. there was a torque change/recall fix for the outer manifold mounting bolts for mj's due to the bolt heads breaking off. I've had a few beers but I think I have this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
