- I got the Aluminum Cylinder Head in from Northwest Imports (came w/ valves installed for $695) and started installing it this weekend. Ran into problems when I tried to pull the old head. I couldn't

- Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Tapping the rocker stud and threading in a screw with lock tight to try and back the broken stud out won't work I'm afraid. What you're going to have to do is dr

- Nick, unless you are very skilled at removing broken bolts, I think Harlan's comment below might be your best advise. The machine shop will charge much less to extract a stud that does not have a bro

- Thanks for the advise. I actually picked up an easy out this morning. Started to drill the tap hole into the stud. But, the metal was a very hard and the bit wasn't going in. So, I've decided I'd be

- Do I understand you correctly - you were putting 40 ft. lbs. of torque on a rocker stud? No wonder the poor little thing broke! Whatever you decide to fit by way of replacements, there's no need for

- Nick, you'll probably find that there are as many opinions about the rocker bolts as there are members on this list. So I'll give you my opinion! I know the bolts are an additional cost and you have
