Some kind of stud where an exhaust manifold bolt should be... maybe???
I removed my exhaust manifolds & heads and there seems to be a stud on the drivers side head on the exhaust port closest to the firewall. It is not fully screwed in and the top seems to be clean so i dont think a bolt head was broken off... I tryed some vice grips to get it out but it wont budge.
this thing supposed to be there?

Its a busted of stud. Mine was too when I put the headers on but the headers use the other hole so it stayed in there. If you have to get it out you'll need a torch to apply some heat.

You sure you're looking at the driver's side head? The passanger side head has a stud in the exhaust manifold in the front end (towards the radiator) that holds both the exhaust manifold and the alternator bracket.

it use to be a bolt and it broke off. Don't worry about it if you are adding headers you won't need that hole anymore.
