HEAD STUD RUNNER 172

just rebuilt a new engine today with new crank and one of the head studs that bolts down the head is fucked on the thread, wats the right way of getting this out? i dont wanna snap it then im fucked proper. any help would be cool !

 

couldnt you clamp it in a vice, and slowly drill them out and then re-thread them ?

 

Some studs screw into the engine and some dont.
If it is the screw in type I would try a pair of mole grips on it.
If it is the non-screw in I would be pretty fucked right about now LOL

 

yup thats it

 

ive got a replacement ready to go in but i need to get the stud out the casing

 

They just unscrew out.
get some molgrips on there. use stud lock stuff when putting the new one in though

 

file down 2 flats on either side of the stud, then put and adjustable spanner on the flats and turn it out, more reliable than mole grips unk:

 

good tip, i'l keep that in mind
