I put studs in all eight holes and it makes it a lot easier to hold all three pieces and the gasket in place for assembly. In the picture there is not one nut or bolt holding the manifolds. They are just resting on the studs.
That's what i'm talking about, the end guides...it helps to know they come out, and I will be placing threaded studs in their place.
