Taking one of the nuts off, the stud broke.
I welded a nut to the end of the stud so I could get a socket on it, but she doesn't want to turn. Feels like it will break again. So I've been hitting the stud with PB Blaster. I could heat it with a torch. Hopefully it will come loose, but I may end up having to drill the thing out and tap the hole for a step stud. Grr, right before WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Any suggestions? |

This is the last thing I have to do to drive the car to ECC. But can I do it?

This is the last thing I have to do to drive the car to ECC. But can I do it? did this happen after you and root installed the engine? We found one stud was stripped and would not hold the nut so I have to replace it. I'm picking up my car from root's shop on Friday and I've ordered 2 replacement studs and two oversized replacement studs. I bought stud extractors from sears and a can of PB blaster. Doesn't sound bad but root says I can't drive it like that becasue the leak will cause additional heat and eat a hole through my manafold where it bolts to the head. I am so bummed. It is perfectly timed and doesn't appear to be leaking anything. |
