cylinder head studs

(1/2) > >>

haynes66:
i'm finally back in the shed after a very long break and i've yet to put my F2 cases together.  i know i've been told that my standard cylinder studs should be ok, but having seen some of them twist slightly when trying to get them out, i'm really tempted to bite the bullet and get some APE ones.  more for piece of mind than anything else, and i know i'd be kicking myself if a standard one snapped. any other recommendations?

Trigger:
The problem i found with APE studs or any other stud that doesn't taper is, that it restricts the oil flow. Honda tapered them for this reason  ;)

haynes66:
i was wondering about that.

haynes66:
although cyclex studs arent waisted either, but they use them on race bikes

Trigger:
As you say race bikes that have there engines stripped quite often  ;)
 I don't do too much work on the F2 heads but, do they have the oil return hole next to the valve ? If these holes are restricted from oil flow then you get a build up of oil and sludge in the valve well.
