| Subject: | Head Stud Pulled out of Case |
After using Arp lube and using the Finch method for torquing the Head Studs, one
of the studs simply came out of the case at about 17 ft-lbs, dragging the threads
of the case with it. It looked like a neat little spring. So now after reading
William Wynne's articles on thread patterns of the studs, I'm trying to
discover the best way to tap the case to accept either the original stud or one
that has a more universal thread pattern. Note that the case now has no threads
shown and looks like a clean reamed out hole. Any suggestions?
