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.

Not sure the threads are deeper but I do think the factory overdrilled it. Also you can get different timecert lengths if you are looking for more grip. Belmetrics has many sizes.
Other than headstuds, that one is the one that strips and pulls. I also did the transmission mount studs behind flywheel. John |
