Hi guys!I went to my meachanic about my broken manifold bolts,3 of 6,that broke about halfway in the threads on the head on my v6.I asked if a stud kit would be better.He said if the car was built with bolts,thats what you should use,i want to use a stud kit you could get for it.Which is better?and why?thanx!!!!!!!!!

I highly recommend the studs myself, you have very little risk of them breaking ever again.

Instead of wrestling a bolt out of the block, you're just unscrewing a nut off the stud. I have Rodney Dickman's kit, though I don't think he has it anymore. FieroStore does though I believe.

Went to  this mechanic,real good one at that.Problem is he never worked on Fiero's,neither have the young mechanics at his shop.Should i trust them to do my cracked manifold bolts,which involves removing the head(s)or should i take it to Gm,which will more than likely cost more,asuming they're more familiar with this?

He should be able to handle it really, the Fiero 2.8 is not very different from any other GM 2.8 engine.

Just make sure he is insured and guarantees the work in case something happens.

How does whether or not he's insured play into this?

If he breaks your car you can be out of luck.
