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.

yeah. I measured the original stud and the hole. the hole was significantly deeper than the stud, etc.. I dont think the factory tapped it to the end, so I lucked out. (3R case if that matters...)
I used a bottoming-tap and the stud I used was threaded 'longer' on one end, so I inserted that end. -bob |

sorry I did not post sooner. Just got to the shop yesterday Pics of the stud in question I think. I have not pulled it yet so not sure how deep the hole is. I am sure there is plenty of meat left to lengthen the threads.
Do not see how you could do this "in car" or without splitting cases - if this is the stud you are talking about. Attached thumbnail(s)

Keep me posted if you pull the stud. It does look like there is plenty of meet behind there...maybe the Germans threaded that sucker much deeper and I'll get lucky...I plan to run a coat hanger down the hole tomorrow to see how deep it is as well. |
