Hi All,
I had been a subscriber of an A-H list some time ago, I think it was this
one.
I'm finally getting around to the restoration of my BN6. I hope to reassemble
the engine in the next week or so. Block has been decked and bored +0.020"
with new pistons, crank has been taken to -0.010 and I have new bearings.
This engine does not seem to have ever been disassembled.
When I went to remove the rods/pistons I found that some of the connecting rod
studs turned with the nuts on about three rods. I managed to get the nuts off
without much trouble using a blunt screw driver between the flat side of the
stud head and the rod cap to hold the stud from turning.
Obviously, I can't use the same crude technique when reassembling.
How should I lock the studs in place? I have a couple ideas but would like to
hear from those on the list.
Thanks,
Frank
