exhaust and carb studs

(1/3) > >>

MikeM:
2 questions

are they the same stud either side of cylinder head

also best way to remove studs without snapping only need a couple each side for replacement head

Trigger:
Mike, No they are different. The back studs are M6x32 and the exhaust studs are M6x40. The best way to take out the exhaust studs is with the right tool (Stud extractor) but, it can be done with two nuts. Lock one against the other and use a lot of heat from a blow touch.   

matthewmosse:
I found my cheap stud extrators tended to chew threads so I prefer to use 2 nuts tightened against each other or I have been known to use a small set of stilsons which do leave marks but can be dressed back to rude health.

MikeM:
cheers guys. great info, got them all out surprisingly easy with the 2 nuts way  8)

MikeM:
took of the 12 nuts that hold down the head, took out tensioner bolt...... and allen head bolt

now it prises up 3-5 mm and gets caught on something

anything I have missed, cant seem to see anything else
