This manifold stud secures the exhaust manifold to the front downpipe on the 2.25 petrol engine fitted to Land Rover Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 vehicles. The stud provides the clamping force necessary to maintain a gas-tight seal at this junction; worn, corroded, or snapped studs are a common cause of exhaust leaks at the manifold flange, resulting in audible blowing, increased cabin fume risk, and potential damage to surrounding components. Replacing damaged studs promptly prevents further flange distortion and deterioration of the gasket seating face. Key Features Threaded stud designed specifically for the manifold-to-front-pipe joint on the 2.25 petrol engine Direct replacement for the original Land Rover specification stud - no modification required for fitting OEM-equivalent part supplied under SKU 568664, ensuring correct thread pitch and shank length Multiple studs are used at this joint - inspect all studs when replacing one, and replace the manifold flange gasket at the same time Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Series 2 and 2A (2.25 Petrol) and Series 3 (2.25 Petrol) at the exhaust manifold to front pipe connection.
