Just wanted to let everyone know that replacing the exhaust bolts no matter what type you use will not cure the exhaust tick. You HAVE to replace the right side exhaust manifold along with all the bolts or upgrade to headers. The right side manifold is warped at # 8 exhaust port. As soon as you start hearing the tick, replace it immediately and maybe you will get away with just pulling out one broken stud with vice grips. If it goes on too long other bolts will brake flush with the head and then you have to weld a nut to the stud to get them out. I have replaced many of these in my shop and this is what I have experienced. Please look at the attached picture and notice gap under cyl. Number 8
