All this talk came at a convenient time as now I have to replace one of the studs on my 1.5 oil sump, thanks to the tire coming off and letting the car bounce a tad. However, let it be known that all this talk about stripped studs (and I don't mean Jake after a couple of beers :) happened right before my little incident, so if anyone brings up the subject of engine overhauls I'm gonna beat them senseless, okay!?!
