I’m in no way affiliated with the author but the info is great.
I’m currently reading this and thought I would share with you guys. Absolutely fascinating information!!!
If you’ve already read it, I apologize in advance!
But if you haven’t......take a little time to read it over and be prepared to be educated on things you may have never known.
Just trying to help out other “ameteur” builders.

That’s advice from a repairman.
Builders will likely disagree on many of these points.

I liked how he went into the physics of the motor. But I do think that 40 ft lbs is a bit high for torquing the heads down!!!?
I thought it was very well written and made many good points.
Well.....I liked it. What is there to disagree with? |

| I’ve never seen a broken stud that I couldn’t extract nor have I scrapped one because of that. |

Advice Needed;, removing my exhaust headers off of my t-1 the other day, i broke one of the studs that screws to each side of the exhaust ports. it obviously must get VERY HOT around those ports. About 3/16 of the stud is all that is protruding from the exhaust port head section. Zundfolge what would you try??

Weld a nut onto the remaining piece of stud, soak repeatedly with PB Blaster or equiv, then remove with a wrench. Applying heat with a propane torch to the area around the stud will help too.

I disagree guys. Scroll farther down into the write-up where he is talking about engine building. There is some VERY interesting points he makes.
He has a different way of explaining things and I can understand easier.
Check it out. |

Weld a blob on it, hit with hammer directly twice.
Peen the head around the outside of the bolthole.
vise grip the blob and wiggle back and forth.
2 out of 3 you can get but some you just can't
