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>

cherry red and then shock cool it with a wet rag, followed by
some penetrating solution 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 cooling process followed 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 application of
heat and penetrating oil until it will unscrew all the way. <br>

> Larry, I don't think they mess with the journals so there
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 quality 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
claim.<br>
> 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 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 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.<br>

> just got the replacement springs for the triumph o/d type
A I am working on. all eight springs are the exact same
length. 4 are yellow tipped and 4 are red tipped. the red
tipped ones appear weaker than the yellow tipped ones. did
laycock come up with a new technical change and not notify
triumph, as all their repair manuals talk about short and long
springs. the springs that were in the o/d are exactly like the
ones I received today. while perusing a type A repair video I
noticed that the guy doing the repair had a set of springs he
was going to install that had red and yellow painted tips.
appears to me that the weaker springs compress to the same
tension as the stronger ones to replace short/long springs.
can anyone clue me in as to what is happening.<br>
