Re: Normal stud?
After looking it over it actually looks like the head had a crack in that stud hole. Looks like I'll have to get it out since I don't want to open the hole on a new head and have it fail the same way. I would image it wouldn't weaken it that much but it does seem like a bit of material yo remove. I'd rather not chance it since it seems to be the area that is the cause of what I am now dealing with.

Re: Normal stud?
Did you replace the stud? If so where did you find a stud that is stepped?

Re: Normal stud?
The step studs were made at a machine shop. I didn't know of any other fix back then. Now you can get thread-serts (I think that is what they are called).

Re: Normal stud?
how much heat should I be using? Any trouble areas I might want to be more careful with the heat?

Re: Normal stud?
Ballpean hammer the heavier the hammer the lighter the taps. You don't need to drive the stud through the block, your just trying to break the rust seal! I like a Big Hammer and tap
lightly ( I was told don't force it get a bigger hammer by my first mentor ) |

Re: Normal stud?
Well I was able to get ahold of a stud socket and removed 5 without any issues. Also discovered the sleeve was only slid onto the stud. I still have no idea why the sleeve would be there and the head drilled to fit over the sleeve. Unfortunately after that good news I managed to snap the rear driver side stud off. Couldn't be a more inconvenient one to break. The other 9 don't want to budge so I will use heat and pb blaster over the next few days. Once those are out I hope I can try to weld a washer and nut to the broken stud. Hopefully it will work.
I thought all was going well with my progress, but obviously not. |
