Hi,
I just joined the forum, I have a '71 ke20 and am doing a 4AGE conversion (yeah, yeah not original but very cheap)
I have put a ke55 diff in the back and the front brakes are also ke55.
So that is me and my car.
Had crane all ready and then:
I find a broken engine mount stud.... (why didn't i see this earlier? I dumped the motor under my house at night in the dark and it just came to light)
What are your experiences with broken studs?
I'm new to all this (mechanic stuff and forum posting).
From what I've read on the net either welding a nut onto the remnants or getting a stud extraction tool to remove it seems to be the norm.
However, I'm trying to see why I can't just drill the bastard out and re-tap a slightly larger thread in and use a larger stud? Its only an engine mount afterall.
Thanks
Jon
