Very complete kit. Only issue is the manifold studs are a bit longer than the original. Also the copper nuts seem to “grab†the stud too early in the threading. I understand they are like that so tightening them drives the stud properly into head, but 1/2†of forcing the thread is too much. All worked out, but took a lot of patience and strength to get them all in and torqued properly.Suggestions for improvement - include a paper or card or something that describes what car/engine needs what gaskets/seals. It’s obviously a kit designed for multiple vehicles but I was not sure what gaskets/seals to use on my car. Ended up matching what I took off, but that assumes the previous person did it right.Deduct 2 stars for that, but otherwise it is a good kit.

Needed to replace exhaust manifold nuts, studs and clamps, so bought this kit. Be warned that the manifold studs in this kit will not work for a 2014 1.4L Cruze. The studs are too long and also have an unthreaded section that either prevents them from being installed far enough into the cylinder head in one orientation, or prevents the manifold nuts from being able to properly seat if studs are installed in the opposite orientation. I ended up cleaning and reusing the original studs. The rest of the parts in the kit that I did use seemed to work OK, but overall very disappointed. The attached pic shows the difference between the original studs and the studs included in the kit.
