On my '87 they were splined and pressed in on the original OEM manifold. On the aftermarket replacement manifold they are just regular bolts in a hole.

I found with my 87 that although the hole left in the header is a little large, it worked just fine to replace the pressed in studs with nuts and bolts with big washers.

Oops.

Now I'm wondering if the manifold on the Montana-mobile was a replacement.

Sorry if I gave a bum steer.

Just did my exhaust manifold on my '94 XJ and the bolts were pressed in.
