can anyone tell me how best to repair stripped threads on the top of a head stud? [not on the channel inside the block]
i've now replaced the head, but a number of problems remain.....
first.....i have one center stud [2nd one from flywheel end] where i cannot tighten the nut all the way down -- it slips; i must have stripped the threads on that stud ....
i have tried redoing the threads with a 3/8 24 die, but the nut still slips
i have tried removing the stud with the snap on stud remover mmi sent me, but the remover slips and the stud does not move.
i've tried running a 5/16 die on the stud, but it will not fit.
i've been very careful not to break the stud, and i do NOT want to remove the head again.
i've thought of jb welding a larger "pipe" [7/16 id or larger] to the stud head and then putting a nut on that
so..what do you suggest? do they make any kind of kit or something to put new threads on a stud with defective threads?
there are other issues as well, but i have a few things i want to try before i bother anyone else with them
thank you all for your help, as always
