Phillip:

  Guessing that a] you ordered thru either George or Richard; b] that you are
talking about the rocker shaft stud:

   1]  'Cause from where/how you ordered you got one of the "infamous" Mo*s
'non-Grade 5 studs'.;
   2]  Prob'ly can get it out by just removing rocker shaft assembly;
   3]  REPLACE BOTH OF THEM!!  Yes, that is an ORDER!!!
   4]  Reset valve clearances
   5]  Order from someone that knows what they are doing and ***Handles***
and ***SEES*** the product.  Unless, of course, you enjoy doing jobs twice.
That should be a 'real' sight when replacing bearings <G>!!  (not)

    As for driving the car - I would recommend not.  BUT, as a disclaimer I 
will
also say that I have to say "nope, don't run motor." 'cause I pay a LOT of 
money
for insurance <F>!!!

Cheers............
