| First off I FINALLY got my 78 2.0 going in my 74 riv thanks to a ton of help, advice, and patience for my dumb questions from you all! Now for the crud, after getting her dialled in I noticed a leak coming from the head to the heater box on the 3-4 side. No big deal, I got 2 new copper gaskets (and a few other goodies, of course) and went to work this afternoon. On the second to last nut I noticed that it wasnt cinched down as far as the others, due to rust probably ( my fault :oops: ) But when I went to take it off the Bastard busted off at the flange of the heater box :cry: . I do stud extractions like this at work all the time but V-Dubs are different than tractors and I was just wondering if theres anything I should look out for or a method you guys use that may differ from what I usually do? Thanks again for all the help people! . . Mike (formerly 74 riviera rookie) |

| Broken stud repair is all the same. Use center punch drill bit to find center. Drill pilot hole 1/16...then 1/8 then the size of your stud. Use good quality square stud remover. Thread or chase threads in head. |

| in my experience when the stud breaks you almost never get it out, it has to be drilled out and rethreaded with a time-sert or similar. 2 litre heads have the worst problem this way. |
