quick question for anyone paying attention:
the thermostat housing is held in by a bolt on one side and a stud/nut on the other. My stud broke in half the other day. (of course after we installed the motor lol)
Does anyone know if that stud is replacable? IE Can i heat it up and pull it out of the cyl head. Or does it need to be ground flat and then drilled/tapped.
Im hearing different things depending on who I ask..
Can anyone confirm?
I could have sworn I remember pulling that stud out once when I had an issue like 8 years ago with an old EGT, but so far it has not budged and my buddy is telling me I gotta grind it flat then drill/tap..
what I need confirmed is whether or not the stud is screwed into the head (IE Is the stud replaceable?) or do i need to drill/tap.
Thanks, JeffLast edited by vtec-this; 09-04-2013, 10:57 AM.

I think I can recall pulling that stud before, but I may be thinking of something else. I'd say its 50/50 that I'm thinking it was the BP in my dark green EGT. Sorry not much help... Engine/trans looks good though!Current:

If you can't unscrew it out then grind, drill, retap and install another double threaded bolt. Steel into aluminium is apt for corrosion especially near coolant and who knows; there could be loctite91 GT- Li'l Bee (under construction)
