Alfoxhound Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 So I broke those two screw things on the piston chamber and I wanted to know if I can get them taken out and replaced or do I have to go out and buy a hole new chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 They can be replaced how the hell did you do that? Lol a stud removing tool or carefully with some vice grips. You dont want to gouge the surface of the cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 You can replace head studs not a big deal. Replace ALL of them not just the broken ones. If you can run a die over the messed up ones to chase the threads, take a head nut run it down as far as u can. Take another one and run it down to the top of the first one. Back the first nut off counter clockwise. Most efficient way to remove a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 If there stubborn heat is key and a good penetrating oil, I use stud removers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Am curious how u managed to snap them off half way as well lol never seen that before. If anything they usually twist in half at the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't be left with new tools I've never used haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 at least you can admit it... now... don't play with tools until you know what they are and what they do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 You should do yourself a favor, and invest in a clymers manual. It list all torque specs,if not im guessing your going to be snapping alot of shit off! Read manual, find torque specs, grab and set torque wrench, and tighten.

salmon_slayer06 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I would clean the ends up on whats left on the mangled ones. Get two grade 8 nuts to fit those. Tighten the nuts against eachother so you can use a wrench to grab that to turn the stud. Soak the hell out of the studs with PB blaster and maybe tap the studs lightly to help get the PB down in the threads. Good luck. BTW the next time the head comes off my motor I will be using heli coil inserts. One of my studs stripped the aluminum threads in the cylinder when I was adjusting the torque after a break in. Soon as that needle on the wrench backed off I stopped, remained calm, counted to ten, put the tool down and proceeded to let out a few choice words... After looking at pic again, the one looks like you'll need to heat up the cylinder where stud is, use a vice grip and hope for the best. They shouldn't be that hard to get out.
