Exhaust Manifold Stud Kit 568664 | Land Rover Series II IIA III
If you have ever wrestled with a stripped or snapped exhaust manifold stud on a classic Land Rover, you know exactly why having a fresh set on hand is the kind of smart move that pays dividends on a weekend morning when the last thing you want is a trip to the hardware store. This kit includes a complete set of 10 short exhaust manifold studs sized 5/16 UNF, designed to secure the exhaust manifold to the downpipe on Land Rover Series II, Series IIA, and Series III Rovers fitted with the 2.25-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
The function of these studs is straightforward but essential. They thread directly into the exhaust manifold, providing fixed anchor points that allow the downpipe and gasket to be located into position and secured with the corresponding nuts. That alignment function matters more than it might seem, and without properly seated studs, getting a downpipe to seat squarely against the manifold is a frustrating exercise in patience. The design has not changed because it does not need to. These are the same short-thread studs the original manifolds were built around, and they do the job just as they always have.
The reason you are replacing them in the first place is almost certainly the extreme heat cycles that the exhaust system endures. Heat causes the studs and their mating nuts to corrode, seize, and ultimately snap or strip when disturbed, a problem well known to any Series owner who has tried to remove a front pipe that has been in place for decades. This set of 10 gives you enough to fully re-stud the manifold with spares to keep in the toolkit, which on a classic Rover is never a bad idea. Whether you are refreshing the exhaust system during a restoration, replacing broken fasteners following an exhaust repair, or doing preventive maintenance before the old studs cause bigger problems, this kit covers the job completely.
Fitment covers the Land Rover Series II (1958–1971), Series IIA (1958–1971), and Series III (1971–1984) with the 2.25-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.

[FAQ]
What Land Rover models does part number 568664 fit?
These studs fit the Land Rover Series II (1958–1971), Series IIA (1958–1971), and Series III (1971–1984) equipped with the 2.25-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. They are not compatible with diesel-engined variants or later model generations.
How many studs are included in this kit, and is that enough to complete the job?
The kit contains 10 short 5/16 UNF exhaust manifold studs, which is a full set for the manifold with a few extras to keep on hand. On a classic Series Rover, having spares in the toolkit is always worthwhile.
Do I need any special tools to install these studs?
Installation requires a stud extractor or double-nut method to drive the studs into the manifold by hand. No specialized tooling is required beyond what a competent home mechanic would typically have available, though penetrating oil applied ahead of time is strongly recommended if the old studs are seized.
