cam stud replacement
« on: June 27, 2014, 09:08:56 PM »
Rebuilding my top end on my 72 cb750. I just started pulling up a can stud while torquing down.

What is the proper way to fix this? Should I replace them all? Just the one in question? Is it possibly because my torque wrench is out of spec?


Thanks in advance.
Kyle

Pulling it out as in stripping the threads? It's only 6mm...
Needs to be done.correctly as it's open ended and is a source for leaks.....

Yes. Its not biting the threads anymore.

You can see its about 1 thread out in the picture.

So my plan right now is to get the stud out without destroying it, then helicoil the hole and reuse the stud. I was going to make sure there is plenty of thread sealer on the coil and stud.

Am I on the right track?
