they don't use studs in the case that you break through the water jacket or possibly crack the sleeve. I figured this since there are no studs coming out of the engine anywhere that make a 90 degree angle with cylinder.

Wat? I am not sure what you are trying to say here.


Plenty of non-Yamaha skis use studs on stuff. Seadoo, Kawasaki, etc. It works just fine. Less chance of stripping anything with studs.
I converted my OEM cylinder to head studs instead of bolts a couple years ago. The ADA billet cylinder comes with studs instead of bolts.
Once installed, they are generally safer and easier to use.

Yeah could c how they would b easier to use, with the factory pipe mani still b pita to tighten the two top nuts

Is it easier if you get some allen head bolts on those manifolds? Somebody has to have a good way to tighten those. I just took my manifold off last night and it was a major pain.
