Re: Rocker stud repair
Link? All mine are ARP studs with cometics at 65 lbs.
As for ARP being harder and then stretching, that doesn't make sense.

Re: Rocker stud repair
That pretty much jives with what I remember doing.
I'm adding the 2 ft-lbs for RTV being used as a thread sealant.
Thanks for the offer on the head, Alex... I got my head back. I really need to start paying closer attention to voice mail, it was actually done around noon Tuesday, the day it was dropped off.
I had to wait on a head gasket anyway (should be here today, supposedly), so it really wasn't a big deal.
As it turned out, there wasn't ever a helicoil in there... what pulled out, was the original threads in the cast.
I suspect that the casting there was shaky originally, and too many cycles of stud removal did them in.
It was actually a good thing that it made me remove the head - I found the funky lifter issue, found an exhaust leak on the turbo flange, and found that my previous repair on the turbo drain leak didn't work.
Would have rather had a few extra days padding to get it all back together, though...

Re: Rocker stud repair
Well, the delivery services are again screwing with me... this time usps.
Tracking # Hood sent says it was dropped off for ship on the 26th. Supposed to be delivered on the 29th.
(Even says expected delivery, on the 29th)
No sign of it anywhere.
Going to shake down the post office early tomorrow, hopefully I can catch it before it goes out on the route, I won't see it until 1:00 PM if that happens.
I was actually hoping it would have gotten here when it said it was supposed to, I could have made some progress tonight. Sucks.

Re: Rocker stud repair
The Factory Victor. #5855
Local places all told me it would have been 8-9 days to get it here, of the ones that could get it.
The dark side of this is that I don't know for sure it will show up tomorrow. If it doesn't show until Tuesday, it'll probably make getting it back together and cleaned up/loaded up not a possibility.
Curious if you could even find one in the cities.. what time are you planning to come up here?
I do need a (one) NGK UR6 spark plug also, if you have one or can get one down there. No local places stock them ("we can get 'em in a week"), and I only had 5 in my spares.
I've got everything cleaned and ready to go back on, so i'm just sitting waiting on the gasket.

Re: Rocker stud repair
Not your fault, dude. I knew something was fishy when they said it was to be delivered on the 29th yet it got checked in in Jacksonville on the 28th. That's a long way to go in 1 day.

Re: Rocker stud repair
The gasket came in, I was able to intercept it at the local PO this morning. Head is on the block, sequencing and torquing now. The ground and clamps on the back are going to be a PITA.
Thunderboomers up here now (and supposedly most of the day), Justin. I've got a garage stall for ya here if Jim doesn't have indoor parking for ya.
Back at it...

Re: Rocker stud repair
Roger that... just had a few pints of really cold Nordeast, which was awesome. Might bring some of that along.
As of 11:30-ish, she fired and is running. Still needs the upper IC put back on and a few misc brackets, and a really good underhood bath. Timing will have to be reset.
The lifter ticking is gone... this is the quietest it's been since the engine rebuild.
Should be able to get on the road Wed. sometime, although I haven't shaken the 'burb and trailer down yet.
Big thanks to Jim (95xtreme) and Justin (nallj92) for the help on the reassembly, and making sure I didn't gloss over stuff.

Re: Rocker stud repair
Well done.
This highlights how many people have bad liters as there were a few people that seemed to think it was normal for the ticking noise. Injectors, yes, ticking no.
Regardless, I love it when a plan comes together!
