That sounds easy. I was expecting the joy of buying a new tool!

There's something quite exciting about the thought of buying new tools
It's the only thing that keeps me going
Just think about the feeling you'll have when its all done & that 1st start up on the bench
I remember my 1st rebuild, oh it was daunting, also done in the days before the internet and no real help from anyone
Just wait until you come to getting the crank an rods balanced an see how smooth it'll run then

Hmmm, I suspect it’s the thought of a lovely, smooth running, efficient engine really
Video it!
(I mean when you first start it up)
I used something similar to that, can't remember the brand. Pretty sure it had glass fibre in it to hold it together.
You could try two nuts, locked together, tightening the stud in using the outer nut.

Perfect thanks. Just don’t want any stray bits flying into my turbo.

Yeh I thought that might work. I’ll have a go
Nor me, but I don't know what else would stand the heat.
The key is to use a very light smear, certainly not globs of it, it does stay tacky for quite a while and uses engine heat to cure so it's fine to smear it on lightly and then assemble without fear of it going off, if your manifold is suspect in terms of warp or pitting then it's best to get it skimmed or do the old sand paper and flat surface trick to reface it.
