Default Re: Head bolts

On my old 29 Sport Coupe, someone had used bolts instead of studs. They all came out OK but I had to heat the nuts on the only two remaining studs for the water neck. My Snap On stud remover took the studs out easily. The waterpump studs were a different story. I had to heat one of them several times to get it out but it finally let go.

Model A head studs thankfully don't go into the water jackets like the V8 engines. The V8s generally always have at least one stud or bolt break off due to corrosion down inside.
