Just in the middle of changing the manifold studs. Last nut got to near 25nm and started slipping. Will it be ok to leave ? Or put another nut up to it? Or do i need to change the stud? Might be able to replace stud with manifold on really don't want to be taking it all off again!

as long as its not a nyloc, normally the nut is a flange nut

I think the threads got damaged in that one when it warped so it's got some m10 threaded bar and a normal nut on it now
