I have an original 6 engine in my 6 conversion car. I have an oil leak at the stud circled in the pic below. I have tried to torque the nut on this stud without success. I then double nutted the stud to see if maybe the stud and become loose. I was able to turn the stud in a bit so I thought I was making progress. When I removed the double nuts and placed a washer and nut back on to torque to value it won't snug up. Instead, as I torque the nut...the stud begins to turn out. I have a bad feeling about this....Please chime in with your wisdom.

brake clean the hole see if you can grab a few threads deeper if so . epoxy and a few threads and light torque saves you...ya not 100% correct but saves you time and $$$ all of the mag cases need a timesert in that location.. I have seen many of that stud glued in to solve the leak.. or have you're engine rebuilt and spend $$$ this stud is not that crucial.
But every case I do gets a insert on this stud...they all pull this one... |

Really hope I can have some success. Would be shame to have to split case. If it comes to that I most likely would have to do this myself. Approx. how many hours would it take a pro to handle the correct repair with a timesert? You would want to repair all the studs with certs wouldn't ya? |
