new cyclinder head came with no intake manifold studs
Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
From my experience, most cylinder head shops will remove any studs and such before they reman the head. That said the valves are different between the Cooper and the S however the cam is the same. Most inconel valves have a dimple in the valve face to distinguish them from standard stainless steel valves, that said "most" valves are like that, not all.
