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.

that sux... sorry to hear that the depth is different then mine. (for whatever it's worth, I have 2 more engine cases, an OEM -6 case and a 7R case.. both of them measured the same as the 3R case in my car... the 'hole' is about 10mm deeper than the factory threads)
at this point, unless you want to risk drilling the case.. ugh! full tear down. -bob |

I had a chance to pull this stud yesterday. The depth of the hole is about .835" and the threaded portion on the stud is nearly .6"
Interestingly, my cases are 4R/5R that show no signs of abuse. All of the studs (including this one) felt very tight. Removing the head studs was extremely difficult - they are very tight. But this stud came out very easily and brought the mag threads out with it. It appears that this stud see a lot of tension/stress even compared to the head studs. Looks like no quick fix to me. Mine is off for some professional attention. |

Let me know if you are having all the case stud threads taken care of in this way and what the bill is if you dont mind. Thanks, |
