So after I had removed all the head studs from the case, I noticed a couple had come out real hard, as if something was wrong with the threads. After cleaning the threads of the stud, I couldn't thread them back in the two suspect holes.
I got a 12mmx 1.5tap and chased those holes. Now, the head studs go right in and they wiggle!! Even after I bottom them out, they can be moved relative to where they exit the case. Is the case shot? What did I do wrong? |

Before you go and spend $100 on the TimeCert kit... Consider this.
I had a local machinist install a time cert for $25. Now, granted, if you have to install 6 or 7 of them, its cheaper to do it yourself. But if you only need one done, its cheaper to have it done for you. Zach |

Automotive machine shops may not know, precision machine shops all will. Two different animals. With the ones I listed earlier, no special tools are required to install them, just a drill, a tap, and a screwdriver. Notice that the metric I.D. ones with a metric OD one is more than the metric ID / SAE OD. The tap for the SAE will be cheaper to. Still gives you the metric threads for your studs. |
