cylinder stud
« on: December 06, 2015, 11:16:05 AM »
Had the cylinder head and was torqueing down the bolts and snap.  I have about 2" left of the stud.  Is welding a bolt on and heat the best option to get it out.  I also now need a cylinder stud if someone out there has one for me.  Thanks

Plenty of factory studs floating around for you but you gotta tell us which engine.

Weld on a nut and have a go.

How much torque?

Thanks for the reply.  Front left #12 in the torque sequence.  Honda CB550.  Torqued to 15lbs, last one and it snapped.

15 is not excessive. Was it twisting?!

Can't help with the smaller engines, sorry.

No twisting.  I did the first 11 and then snapped the last one.

Need help locating a factory cylinder stud. Look all over the Web and I am at a loss.

Thanks.  I did torque the nut in stages.  This is my first build of a bike this size so I have been reading up on it quite a bit.  I have rebuilt quite a few single cylinder bikes.  Having a blast with this bike and I can,t wait to hear it run.
