  Ford never locktited or staked them why now. I would coat threads with never-seize.Ive never seen any back out before , OMO If you double nut them when going in or out they can be removed if wanted. ken ct.

  Wow! For once I actually agree with advice given by KenCT. There is NO reason you need to stake studs in to an intake manifold. None at all.
