How many different types of stainless are there? Do some cut better than others? I'm not an expert on stainless for sure. Before I used the torch on the broken stud I tried it out on one of the other studs that we had removed and are led to believe are stainless and it melted and blew easy. I didn't try to actually cut it, I just heated to the melting point and hit the oxygen and I blew a chunk out of it. When I was torching on the broken stud I heated till a few sparks flew, then I gave it a quick blast and quit, I never did just hold the flame in the hole and try to do a long cut. Tomorrow I will talk this over with him and mentioned the suggestions from you guys. I'm inclined to suggest longer grade 5 studs and use spacers. I did use a mig to weld a washer and nut on twice and it didn't work. I have done this many times on various tractor and military restorations and most of the time it has worked but not this time. It just seemed like the weld didn't want to stick to the stud. This truck is a 1994 glider using a used powertrain and possibly a rebuilt engine. Who knows what done to the manifold in the past!
