Cylinder stud too short!!

<< < (3/7) > >>

Fogdevil:
I have just gone onto the DS website to have a look at a picture of a stud.
You are all quite right. There is definitely a bulbous part to the shaft, just above the thread, at one end.
Looks like it has been put in upside down!!
Oh well.A trip back to the engineers is on the cards.
I refer to my earlier comments:"Mutter,mutter,mutter"

Thanks for your help.I will let you know the outcome.

Nurse Julie:
I know I'm keeping on  ::) ::) but having read your original post again, I'm a bit confused. Which stud is it exactly that your having problems with, maybe a photo would help. I'm thinking are you fitting a copper washer where there should be a Dowty washer?

Orcade-Ian:
I just checked the other 400/4 - a 76 F1 and this engine has not been molested before I got it.

Steel rule measurements only

These are the results from the Orkney Jury:

If they are upside down, they can be wound in much further on some of them


Ian

Oops, forgot to say those measurements are with the studs fitted and the distance is from crank case top face to top of stud

Nurse Julie:
Soooo, could one not just put double nuts on the top and wind the stud out by 2 threads?. It would save Foggy stripping the top end down again.

Fogdevil:
It is in the front row of studs,offside, second one in.(E227 90032-377-000 in parts manual) [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
On Orcadian's picture it is the left hand(as we look at it) 100.
Just to complicate matters my parts manual describes it as 8x122, which I assume means 122mm long?
