DomP:
Should I be replacing cylinder studs if they have a bit of rust and pitting on the shank? I will get a pic up tomorrow.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I suspect cylinder studs might be a nightmare to remove without breaking!

My suspicions too Ted, mapp gas might help along with soaking in plus gas but maybe they might not need replacing if not too bad because the torque they are set to is actually quite low isn't it
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Yes it is low compared to cars with steel heads!
3 out of my 8 exhaust studs snapped despite heat and a decent stood removal tool.
Bryanj:
Leave them alone they can be a real pig even with heat
