does anybody use them? seems to me that they would make putting the lower intake on easier without moving the gaskets....
my lower has a leak at the back seal, and I am trying to fix it once....

Actually,that sounds like a great idea.I have never thought of that.Good thinking ol' boy.
i was thinking about using just 4 of them, one at each corner
I use assembly studs on everything I can that uses a gasket or sealer. They especially work great on valve covers and waterpumps also. I have no engine leaks at all which I attribute to the use of studs during assembly.
I just make mine using longer bolts that I cut the heads off of. Just make sure they're very loosely threaded in so you can get 'em back out after you start your bolts.
I have 4 ARP carb studs at the corners on my intake just for the fact that its easyer to line up the gaskets and intake. But using all studs can be a bit of a prob if u take your intake on and off.
