Hi Anders,
Thanks for the advice. The break looked pretty clean, unfortnately I'm not sure how far out I actually got the stud before I broke it. It looked it sheared right off -- I'll have to get a mirror in there to clean up things and look at it. I'm in it for the long haul, I got a new headgasket less than 3K ago!! Unfortunately they didn't do the exh man gasket, don't ask me why... seems like it would be much easier to deal with the stud with the head out.
One more question: I feel like now that I have everything apart, I may as well replace the two remaining short studs? Is this asking for trouble? They are currently intact. I tried to use two nuts to back them out, but they're in pretty tight and I didn't want them to break off as well! I've been told that heating them to be cherry red will get them to slide right out. Any idea what the best way to heat them up: propane, mapp, oxyacetelene?? I have a propane torch, but I'm not sure that will be hot enough... Thanks again,
Ram
