stripped out cylinder stud HELP!!!

[Blaster200boy]

Well, as i was tightening up my head nuts with the nuts and washers and head gasket when i got to the rear nut, my cylinder stud stripped out...If im gonna replace 1, im gonna replace them all...Is it a good idea that i pull my cylinder off....Give me some links or websites that i can buy new studs from...or even hardware stores>????

you need to heli coil it or put a timesert in, you cant just put a new stud in. the best way is to pull the motor and head so you can get a proper angle on the problem. were you useing a torque wrench or just reefin on it with a ratchet and socket??

Ratchet and socket.....I know i shouldnt be using it...Im gonna take it to my machine shop and let him do this....im not taking a chance on getting one in crooked....unless i can send it to Ken O'Connor...

dont heli coil unless that all u can find they dont hold up as well as timeserts. heli coil works good on othere bolt threads i just wouldnt do it to head or the jug bolts unless that all i could find.

its well worth it to have the timeserts done. you just need to get some M8x1.25 studs. not totally sure on the length

Can someone send me the link of the right timeserts???

you need a whole kit that's kinda spendy...but here you go

I had the same problem with one of my posts when I was replacing the head gasket. I just pulled the jug and took it to a machine shop to have a time sert put in. Worked flawlessly and only cost me about 20 bucks.
