No, I've changed the exhaust studs a couple times because of different turbos that needed longer ones, and the bottom three center stripped. Two were recoverable, and I forgot to have the center one (most important because of oil leakage problem) helicoiled when I had the head off. Bad design I'd say though.

Another thing I just noticed, my dipstick reads 100% full with just 4 quarts in, why could this be? The oil pan is a little dented but not much. Is filling it < .5 quarts over the full line going to make the crank drag in the oil?
