Hello everyone, I looked for threads on this but didn't find anything exactly the same as my situation so I would appreciate some insight. I did the 7/16'' exhaust stud helicoil upgrade on my head out of the car and I drilled one of my holes slightly crooked. I didn't notice until I was doing a dry fitting of the studs after loctiteing the helicoils in. The only problem one is the third from the left which is a lower one. At the end of the stud there is at the most 1/4 inch of deflection. I can put on the manifold and insert the stud and tighten the nut down but just barely cannot put on the manifold with the stud in. Will I be able to get away with inserting the stud afterward? Thanks very much to anyone whom can help me out.
