Hello list.. I am back again.. I need some help.. =\ sorry =\ I just found out my motor should be good because all the bearings were good. But the heads were cracked.. Bad.. so, I got some new ones from Chirco In Tempe. And they are nice remanufactured heads.. but I have a prob with em.. well not the heads.. but the case I guess. Um well. Like 5 of the studs are STRIPPED?!?!? I dont get it I tightened them in the correct pattern. and to 27 pounds but 5 of em well.. just kept going and going and going and just pulled themselves out. =( =..( thais sucks. now I think I can Helacoil Them.. is this ok? I can tell that the stud comes really close to the cylender, is it ok to still put the helacoil in if I am careful? Sorry this is long but I want to do this right. and have this motor last until I can afford a new one. History on the motor. well it was rebuilt but I think the Studs were stripped befoore because of 4! SERIOUS blowbys and my heads cracking all of a sudden..well maybe not blowbys but it was blowing out of the head around the outer ring ya know where the valves are and you can tell it was leaking on the head.. eh? oh well Please give me any info you can because I need this motor to run. I know never to go to the man I had rebuild my motor though he did terrible and I had to fix all of his mistakes! he has his own Business believe it or not! and I had to fix his junk! oh well it is all perfect now all I have to do is be able to torque the heads!! Please help! Jason "Crash" `70 T-III Fastback `67 T-I Beetle <For sale maybe?> <Anyone interested?>
