So the continuing saga of fitting the SS heat exchangers continue. I somehow pulled out the heli coil repair on the exhaust stud. The coil measures 9.5mm OD.
I suppose I need to re-tap the hole with a step stud. So what size step stud should I use ?? M8 to (M10 or M11) ? Where would I find such a stud ? Is it do-able, drilling and tapping from under the engine ? How the heck am I going to keep the bit and tap straight and not F/up ? Man it never ends with old cars...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Thanks in advance for everyones help !!!! I really appreciate it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I am 1 lucky SOB. I was successful this weekend. Thanks to the help of all your support and suggestions. What helped was slowly drilling in steps to the desired 27/64 bit for the ez lock. Yeah I can see how a hand drill would have helped. My power handdrill lickily had a speed control so I turned it way down. Oh, for the EZ lok, FYI if you want a free sample. They will send it to for free. ezlok.com They are great and I would use it again in the future.
My new question is the replacement stud I screwed in. It tightens up too far deep in the hole. When I test fit my heat exchangers there are not enough threads to screw the nut. The desired depth I can rotate the stud to by hand. So would it be ok to add some blu loctite and screw the stud to desired depth which will give me enough threads for the nut or just not use any loctite at all and just tighten it down with the HE ???????? I even thought about using a CV bolt instead. Would this ok to use or was there a very good reason why there was a stud there originally instead of a bolt. Man I dodged another bullet this weekend. Thanks for all the help guys. ![]() ![]() |
