earlier I brought up 8/9mm step studs on this thread.
So then today, I went out to the garage to checkout this tiny putt-putt exhaust leak I thought I had, and what do you know? The only 8/9mm step stud I put in my engine when it was rebuilt 1000 miles ago had pulled. So now I think that unless you're SURE about the quality of your stripped 8mm hole, you should go with the 8/10mm step stud. That way you'll get to good solid aluminum almost for sure. I'm thinking now about a timesert to repair mine. My stripped out hole is about 9mm, and rough, so I'm not that sure it'll hold even the 10mm for the long run.... |
