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.

I had the same thing. I cleaned out the stripped threads with brake clean and a wicked long Q-Tip. (not a real Q-Tip, but one of those medical ones with material that doesn't fray...)
I bought a 150mm long tap and was able to tap about 10mm further with more threads. I found a longer stud, reinstalled it with locktite and it hasn't leaked a drop. -bob |
