I had recently installed case savers in a 1600 block. I had installed a stud that was too short & it snaped when I went to remove it. Long story short, removed cyclinder & got broken stud out. Friend thought the case saver hole needed rethrearded. Now the new case saver will screw all the way in, does not stop & it is has some wobble to it. I put JB weld in the case saver hole & threads on the case saver. Am I screwed? What opitions do I have?

If the case saver you have is 12 mm outside diameter and 8 mm inside diameter, you can get a larger one without much problem. It's even possible to find 14 mm OD with 8 mm ID.

p.s. sounds like you may need to find a new friend as well.

Thanks for the info on the larger case savers. Do you happen to know the size drill bit I will need? AgainThanks

ps..I starting to think the same thing about the friend, either that or start slapping his hands every time he touches something
