You have at least one broken exhaust stud now, the one on the end of the longer 
exhaust manifold piece.? I have never heard of any 603 head that did not have a 
broken stud there.? What's odd is they break but they don't fall out!

Put a wrench on it and see.

exhaust studs, etc., but I guess it is the prudent thing to  do - sigh.On

When I did the head on my '87SDL none of the exhaust studs were broken 
on either
the old head or new one.
