Hi all .
Cylinder block and the 4 inside studs are stuck solid ?
Any one had this problem and solved it.! :mad:
I haven't experienced this problem on a bike but often with car engines. I assume you've soaked it with penetrating oil? Have you tried heating the stud with a torch?
Ya , I've tried oil, heat , rubber mallet and very careful leverage. Not a budge. :dunno_black:
With steel studs into an aluminum block, this is bound to happen. Somewhere here on the forum is a lengthy and detailed discussion regarding the exhaust studs. Over time the dis-similar metals will cold weld themselves together. I don't recall if there were any solutions offered in that thread.
I'm no help at all. Sorry.
