Hi,
how much "meat" around the stud hole? not familiar with your motor, just wondering if it is possible to tap out 8mm., then use an 8mm/6mm double diameter stud, even 7mm taps are available, seems a same to waste an otherwise decent head, are you near humberside?---ken

Ka Ja
Just emailed Mike with more or less the same solution we all know when this happens it knocks the crap out of you.
Cheers
Bitsa

hi,
If he was near, I could maybe have helped, yes, it is gut-wrenching,been there!----ken
This one got to me, seized in gallery plug, and asoda blasted engine to clean!
Trigger:
Mike there must be someone in your town that has a Tig wielder. If you put the stud in and then tack around it to make sure it is true, then tig it in.
