Ouch, just got a call from my mechanic that two of the head studs on one cylinder won't torque up on my 2.7 conversion. The engine had been previously rebuilt with time serts and dilivar studs, but it seems that a couple of these have pulled as well.
Can the case still be saved? I think it may be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ! |

The fix is Case Savers, Pelican sells them, large coarse thread, Unlike timeserts same pitch, bigger od, The drilled out timeserts is the right size to tap for CaseSavers.
Timeserts , I have seen too short in length used that shortens the lifespan. |
