Exhaust stud

(1/1)

toucheturtle:
Hi,

One of the exhaust studs on my cylinder head is loose. I can tighten it in but when I come to fit the exhaust and tighten the nut it only tightens so much and then slowly starts to pull the stud out.

Is there a product which will fix the stud in place? The problem isn't serious enough yet to warrant drilling the hole out and tapping a larger stud. If it was at all possible I'd like to keep all the studs and nuts the same size.

Sounds like it needs a thread insert, helicoil are probably the best known.
