>=20
>=20
> This is method that I use to remove broken bolts and studs from cast iron=
exhaust manifolds. With a broken stud in a manifold, as long as I can get =
a small pair of long nose locking pliers onto the screw, bolt or stud then =
the rest is typically easy, if you are patient.
>=20
>=20
>=20
> I heat only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to cherry red and then =
shock cool it with a wet rag, followed by some penetrating solution like "K=
roil" or "PB Blaster". Then I carefully clamp the needle nose locking plier=
s on the end of the exposed stud and GENTLY rock it back and forth ever so =
slightly. If you get any movement whatsoever back and forth the rest will c=
ome, if you're patient. Repeat the heating and shock cooling process follow=
ed by the locking pliers as many times as it takes. With patience and luck =
the broken stud will progressively unscrew a bit farther with each applicat=
ion of heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all the way.=20
>=20
>=20
>=20
> I did this recently with a BJ8 Manifold where 7 of the 8 studs were froze=
n and/or broken off. Some of them had just ?? of stud proud of the manifold=
. All seven came out using this process.

> Larry, I don't think they mess with the journals so there should be no pr=
oblem there. I've seen a website for Vandervell, but they are probably owne=
d by someone else now. If they maintained their old quality and if they sti=
ll make the right bearings they would be the go to source. As it is it's a =
crapshoot. I am going to contact them and see what they claim.
> My block has been over-bored and after 13 years of service wouldn't quite=
clean up at 88 mm. I'll be ordering the 88.5 mm pistons. I like the DW rou=
te because it allows them to use lighter pistons and more modern metric rin=
gs they say will cut down on blow-by. CR shouldn't change unless I do cut t=
he pistons and then it won't increase much. I'm waiting to hear what needs =
to be done to the head. If it needs to be decked too a lot of things might =
change.I haven't micced the old head gasket, but i'll need to compare it to=
the new one at some point. Even though I don't think I'll be driving it at=
high revs very much I'm still going to change out to the narrow drive belt=
just because I can incorporate a vibration damper.

emoving Broken Studs from Cast Iron Manifolds<br>> <br>> <br>> <b=
r>> This is method that I use to remove broken bolts and studs from cast=
iron exhaust manifolds. With a broken stud in a manifold, as long as I can=
get a small pair of long nose locking pliers onto the screw, bolt or stud =
then the rest is typically easy, if you are patient.<br>> <br>> <br=
>> <br>> I heat only the exposed stud or bolt with a torch to cherry =
red and then shock cool it with a wet rag, followed by some penetrating sol=
ution like "Kroil" or "PB Blaster". Then I carefully clamp the needle nose=
locking pliers on the end of the exposed stud and GENTLY rock it back and =
forth ever so slightly. If you get any movement whatsoever back and forth =
the rest will come, if you're patient. Repeat the heating and shock coolin=
g process followed by the locking pliers as many times as it takes. With p=
atience and luck the broken stud will progressively unscrew a bit farther w=
ith each application of heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all =
the way. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I did this recently with a B=
J8 Manifold where 7 of the 8 studs were frozen and/or broken off. Some of =
them had just ?? of stud proud of the manifold. All seven came out using t=
his process.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> This process may work on a=
n aluminum manifold IF and ONLY IF you are careful not to use too much heat=
near the aluminum. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>>=

"<br>> <br>> Larry, I don't think they mess with the journals so ther=
e should be no problem there. I've seen a website for Vandervell, but they =
are probably owned by someone else now. If they maintained their old qualit=
y and if they still make the right bearings they would be the go to source.=
As it is it's a crapshoot. I am going to contact them and see what they cl=
aim.<br>> My block has been over-bored and after 13 years of service wou=
ldn't quite clean up at 88 mm. I'll be ordering the 88.5 mm pistons. I like=
the DW route because it allows them to use lighter pistons and more modern=
metric rings they say will cut down on blow-by. CR shouldn't change unless=
I do cut the pistons and then it won't increase much. I'm waiting to hear =
what needs to be done to the head. If it needs to be decked too a lot of th=
ings might change.I haven't micced the old head gasket, but i'll need to co=
mpare it to the new one at some point. Even though I don't think I'll be dr=
iving it at high revs very much I'm still going to change out to the narrow=
drive belt just because I can incorporate a vibration damper.<br>> <br>=

the cam journals, it seems undersize<br>> cam bearings are not obta=
inable. King bearings had a problem many<br>> years ago but I believ=
e there are no problems with them now.<br>> Vandervell did make bea=
rings for the 100 years ago but they would<br>> be hard to find thes=
e days. The 100 block is very soft iron, my car<br>> had a massive r=
ing groove even though the engine had only done 8000<br>> miles from=
new. I had it bored to 3 5/8 and sleeved it back to 3 1/2<br>> usin=
g good quality iron liners from LA Sleeve. I used semi dished<br>> p=
lus 0.060 pistons from JP pistons here in Australia. They give a<br>> =
final compression ratio of about 9.5 to 1. I would see no problem<br>>=
with machining the top of the pistons back flush as it would only be<b=
r>> a very small amount. My head gasket is 0.040 thick composite<br>=
> material with steel rings around the bores. As long as the pistons=
<br>> are no more than flush with the top of the bore you should hav=
e no<br>> problem.<br>> <br>> Hope it all works out<br>>=
