(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Head leak!
My mechanic determined it was coming from the head and invited me over to take a look (Sorry no pics). When he pulled the lower valve cover off the head nut was just laying sideways in the hole. Either somebody screwed up when the heads were torqued or a stud has pulled out. Updates to follow. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

the problem now is getting the remainder of the stud out. Assuming that isn't a 7 act play, I would still recommend splitting the case because all the lowers should be replaced after installing your favorite thread repairs and it will be very easy to get the effer's pointing every which way which will confound your torque settings. good luck. btw, will you do it yourself?

Are you (and your mechanic) sure that the stud is pulled or broken. Maybe the nut can simply be re-torqued. Probably a long shot but worth a try.

Aren't pulled head studs a fact of life for the 2.7?
And snapped head studs for the 3.0... At least that is what two years of 911 ownership taught me... |

It's certainly worth a try,but be careful with the re-torque....if the stud is pulling out, tis possible to tighten until the stud comes up into the barrel nut so far that the driver will no longer grip the nut and..... then you'll be sorry.

We are going to give this a shot. If the stud is pulled the motor's coming apart. |

Holy shit Allan. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I am friggen speachless. When I adjusted the valves on that engine, there wasn't any loose head bolts that I could see. Plus, it pulled good compression.
I wish I was there to help. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

Here's a thought.
Being that the conversion is already done, would a 3.0 or larger just bolt right in? Anybody got one for cheap? |

Alan, Call my friend/teacher Jay: 951 788 4216 And ask him if he's got a sweet motor for cash, or what your options are with that 2.7. I've seen some damn good motors built on that 2.7 alumi-mag case. |
