During the rip apart of my engine for a HG job I got a few studs stuck in the exhaust flange. I was able to get one out by drilling but the other had other plans. It snapped off my extractor bit. So I bought one on ebay. I checked the part number because I know the 01/02 4runner exhaust manifold changed from previous years. So I got it in today and while the gasket holes line up, it's slightly deeper (away from the engine). It also just looks like a different metal. Is this a big deal?
Of course there are two studs in this one. I'm nervous about those but I'll certainly try to get those out using the double nut method.
