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? |

You would want to repair all the studs with certs wouldn't ya? It depends if you are taking the engine apart and reassembling it yourself or do you plan on taking it to a shop for it all? You could easily have the engine apart in 2 to 3 hrs. As for the time certs you could also do that if you know what you are doing. I would insert all of the inside studs. The mag cases will all pull these studs at some point in time and doing it while apart is cheap insurance. Did you have the head studs done ? If not plan on doing those too. I used Ollie's for my 2.7 build and was happy with the service there. I put my engine together taking my time over a two week period. I'm sure it could be done within 2 days if you have the time. |
