I need a couple new engine case studs. Does anyone sell these?
Also, where is the best place to have a cam and lifters ground?

#41 here? http://www.ratwell.com/technical/Microfiche/t200210.gif
If yes, they are part number 021 101 145 B. They are 12 x 1,5 A/M10 x 175. Special studs.

NLA from VW, so I am not sure where Bus Depot will get them from: http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=021101145B

But at $26 each..... I would put a want ad in the classifieds. I am sure there are people out there with cases they can remove the studs from :)

Actually it's 34 I need.

#34 is part number N01034510, size is AM8Ax78

Still available from VW. Either order from your local VW dealer, here: http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N01034510 , or get used ones.....

And on your cam and lifter 'resurfacing'...... I would not waste any $$ doing that. In the long run, you should get a new cam and lifters that are a matched set. You will, more than likely, have premature failure due to a hardness mis-match.

You mean my VW dealership would have them in stock? Weird. I didn't think they carried aircooled stuff. Do you know how much it'll run me?

What's the part # for 30? I can't find it anywhere.

#30:

Takes 2 of them. Part number N 14 395 3 and is 8 x 42.

VW also shows a second #(30) with an x quantity as 10 x 48 and part number N 14 560 1

But both are NLA......

Would this be the right one? These studs are very confusing.

Apologies for the huge thread necromancy, but I ordered N01034510 and it showed up today as a bolt that looks similar to #35 in the diagram :?

Is it possible to put the two case halves back together with the stud missing, and then slot it in when it arrives? I don't like the idea of halving my rebuild held up by a stupid stud if I can help it.

The two studs you need #30 8x42 and # 34 8x78 should be available from any good automotive store like napa auto parts.

I do have these but, i think if you gave Jake Raby a call he could pull them from an old case too.

not sure what city you are in but, you could also find these studs in a good hardware store as well

8mm.x 1.25 thread pitch 42 m.m. is approx. 1 3/4 inch
80 m.m. is approx. 3 1/4 inch

the problem with leaving them out that you cannot torque the case properly and will damage the case threads trying to install them with
case buttoned up. good luck..

Call Larry at The Speed Shop in Harriman TN. Larry is the guru in the east TN area...

So how do you remove the bolts 41 and 45? I have the engine seperated and apart, I am just wondering how to remover those bolts.

I want to send this case to Jake when I buy the camper special, and I know it will be way easier (cheaper) to send it with those bolts out.

Do I use heat, with a double nut on the end? Last thing I want to do is damage something on this case.

These are the bolts I need to remove

I've had luck with a vice grip on the non-threaded part, but be careful not to put too much pressure on it.
