As I showed in my rebuild thread, I found one of my cylinder heads with an insert for one exhaust stud, but installed at an angle. The other head has one oversize stud hole (9mm?).
My first thoughts: remove the insert and inspect the hole. I may attempt to drill a larger hole at the proper angle and install a bigger insert. If I do that, I may do the same for the other head, which will be the same hole position. Comments? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Agreed with the available meat, but location, location, ..... If you know a friendly machinist I would have him look it over. Given the correct setup, this is simple stuff, given a cordless drill and a bench vise, it's another story

Ugh, what quality. Should be correctable though. Probably best to have a machinist do it and use a timesert.
