I thought it was the nut that was coming loose. It turns out the stud will not stay tight resulting in a leak. What can I do to keep the stud in tight? Would it be too hot for locktight? What are my options other than tightening it down till it breaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

When I had the heads done on a core engine I have I noticed there were 9mm stud holes in the heads. A few of the studs were missing when I got the engine. I found some 8 X9 studs here. http://www.bus-boys.com/heads.html#hardware
My only precaution. They are not straight, Very poor quality. When you lay them on the bench and roll them they wobble. It's hard to get these started and aligned. I think Chris Foley sells these too. I think I spotted them or someone posted that he does after I bought the ones from the Bus Boys. |
