M10 they most definately are, the length doesnt matter too much, just make sure its as big but if not bigger to be sure.

Why may ask, you re-studding a manifold? Personally just drill them out and use stainless bolts and two nuts, easier to fit imo, except you have to make sure its lined up properly first

M10 X 1.5 pitch I believe - if you want to replace them with longer studs then getting a good quality tap might be a good idea (cheap ones wont cope with manifold material)

you need longer studs for a spacer. i used a 10mm spacer for my 2e conversion, and with gasketts it only 'just' fits.
1 boly is however now missing!
