Re: #7 head stud leaking water
I have seen blocks where some ham fisted brute at some time had screwed the head studs in too far and broken out the cast iron Henry left there to prevent your problem. My solution was similar to Mulletwagon's above and with the same results. That was about 40,000 miles ago and it's still fine. If I ever have to redo that engine, I'll sea; the thread when I screw the probably new stud back into the block. Until then, I say if it's not broken....
