Oh Dear, Oh dear, Oh dear! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif
Just tightened the head up slowly to 28 on all the studs and pulling up to 30lb stripped number 5 dynamo stud /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif Top. Finally managed to remove the nut but it looks like the stud is unable to be re threaded. Tried to remove the stud aswell, but its stuck in fast to the block so no hope. The other problem is... i was advised to use hylomar to seal the gasket, so if i need to remove the head, ill also have to buy a new gasket seeing as its stuck down hard! All the other nuts are currently tightened to 30lb so, if i was to just relax those down to finger tight, once the stud is repaired, would i be able to then retighten all the studs as normal? Im thinking along the lines of drilling into the dynamo cradle, to take the nut far enough down as to bite on a good thread on the stud. Any thoughts, This has really defeated me, i cant believe what bad luck im having at the moment /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif so, any ideas please put them forwards!
Thanks guys
