PB Blaster is a penetrating lubricant. One of the best. (IMG:http://specialtauto.com/delorean-parts/images/PB-Blaster.jpg) [/quote Cool thanks! is that the same stuff they use on the frozen lock tumblers? and can you get it at your local auto parts...hows the fix coming |

I agree that heat generally works well for exhaust studs, but sometimes it's just not enough, even with PB or equivalent.
That's when I take a hammer and beat the shit out of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Okay, don't actually beat the shit out of it, but tapping on the end of the stud will send vibrations into the boss which will sometimes help break loose rust. I try to avoid using PB or equivalent when mixing with heat, because if you're not careful you will start a fire. So instead I opt for heat and hammer. Hasn't failed me yet. |

They didn't have any step studs... They had some studs, but none with a larger end. Oh well, the one I have will work. It's a little short, but I can get a nut on it. I think I'm good to go. But won't be able to finish this until tomorrow. |

Back on the road. The new studs held up to torque and no leaks. Whew.
The one step-stud that's a little on the short side turned out to be just long enough... All the threads are engaged with one to spare. Drove it to the office and back today. Going to re-torque and head out to Issaquah. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Nice job Rand!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
After installing the new exchangers last year (and tapping new threads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) I still have an exhaust leak on one side and will be removing the exchangers again try and and fix. I REALLY hate having to do anything that involves exhaust studs and hope I don't find one that decides not play nice. |

i had a welding stuff salesman at work the other day who actualy had something interesting ,if you break a stud or bolt and the rest of it sits deep in the hole, you usualy center drill the remains of the bolt("center "is a city in albania) tap in an extractor, twist and watch it break (the extractor that is) the you go buy lots of beer. not so with this shit ,actualy a electric welding(arc ) rod covered with graphite, you just put the rod in the hole making contact with the stud and just fill the hole to the top with weld then mig on a nut and twist. the graphite will form a layer betveen the weld core and the treads of the hole so they are undamaged ,he actualy pulled a M12 stud sitting 4inces down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) been welding for some time ,but never seen this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

But can I do it? did this happen after you and root installed the engine? We found one stud was stripped and would not hold the nut so I have to replace it. I'm picking up my car from root's shop on Friday and I've ordered 2 replacement studs and two oversized replacement studs. I bought stud extractors from sears and a can of PB blaster. Doesn't sound bad but root says I can't drive it like that becasue the leak will cause additional heat and eat a hole through my manafold where it bolts to the head. I am so bummed. It is perfectly timed and doesn't appear to be leaking anything. |
