Genuine Nissan Exhaust Manifold Stud VK56 - Nissan Patrol Y62

This is a genuine Nissan exhaust manifold stud, designed specifically for the VK56 V8 engine found in the Y62 Patrol. It is used to securely fasten the exhaust manifold directly to the engine's cylinder head, creating a crucial, gas-tight seal for the exhaust system.

Due to constant exposure to extreme heat cycles, vibration, and corrosive gases, these studs can stretch, corrode, or snap over time. A common symptom of a failed stud is an audible ticking noise from the engine bay, particularly when the engine is cold, which indicates a dangerous exhaust leak. It is best practice to replace these studs whenever the exhaust manifold is removed to prevent future failure and ensure a reliable, long-lasting seal.

Product Features

• Genuine Nissan Quality: Manufactured from high-grade steel specifically engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and torque specifications without stretching or snapping.
• Direct OEM Fitment: Designed to the exact dimensions and thread pitch as the original factory part for a hassle-free installation.
• Corrosion Resistant: Treated with a protective coating to resist corrosion, ensuring longevity and easier removal in the future.
• Restores Seal: Guarantees the correct clamping force on the exhaust manifold gasket, eliminating exhaust leaks and restoring engine performance.

Replacing an exhaust manifold stud can be a difficult workshop job, particularly if the old stud has snapped off inside the aluminium cylinder head. This often requires specialised stud extraction tools. To ensure a complete and lasting repair, it is highly recommended to replace all studs and nuts as a set. You should also replace the exhaust manifold gaskets at the same time to guarantee a perfect seal.
