I have had a stud on my 2.25l petrol cylinder head stripped out. Its not the stud but the hole in the edit: cylinder head (not manifold) that is stripped. If i remember the (edit) cylinder head is somewhat chipped out at that stud hole, well it has a exhaust leak at that spot, I think it has finally eaten throgh the maifold gasket on a couple cylinders (intake/exhaust) I need to deal with this.
The book says-> 5/16th unf thread 36mm long (252622 x 8) or (252622 x 5 + 252623 x 3 heat shield )
Not much on my Landy is metric so I think the above is the right stud, the next size up I assume is 3/8"
So could someone tell me if they would advise to drill out bad stud hole to 3/8" and run a 3/8" unf tap in it? Then buy corrispoding 3/8" unf stud? And drill out hole in manifold to allow 3/8 as well?
I don't want to get in over my head, I have not had very much free time lately. Also does anybody know a good place to order a decent Zenith Carb that is not affected by the Zenith Warp issue?
