#288504 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:Head bolt - 1, me - 0 1 Year, 11 Months ago   After a LOT of try this and that, 4 broken drill bits, 3 stripped Sears taps, 1/2 bottle of propane gas, 4 days of my time and countless looks at the whiskey bottle I went with the JBWeld (24 hour curing stuff). The last attempt had the angle off by just enough to cause me to get VERY . Ended up with a 3/8" hole. At that point I knew I was on the verge of getting another jug. Got the stud in place now I'll wait a day or so and see. Heard mostly good about the stuff. Never used it but we'll see.

The stud will pull out it of it in a heartbeat. What you need to do is to get a new stud, then take it to a realy good hardware store and get a helicoil kit for that thread. Install a helicoil in the hole and you will be in business.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:Head bolt - 1, me - 0 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I wonder if I should pull the studs on mine before they break and replace with a better quality stud?   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #288535 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:Head bolt - 1, me - 0 1 Year, 11 Months ago   The JB is something I never tried but have heard it's good for many applications. Already got it in so I'll find out tomorrow about this time. If it don't work I'll redo it with the helicoil. Ain't been there so I gotta try it. It's the stubborn German in me. If it don't work for my application I'll be sure to pass the word. GP   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #288547 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts.

Clifford Clifford is right. JB isn't a fix. Put a Helicoil in and forget about it. If you have never done one , they are really hard to screw up on , and once it's done (right) , you'll wonder why you have never used them in the past.

Most Industrial supply stores have them or can get them. http://www.bjg-design.com/designbook/pdfs/INS-KNS-KNS.pdf   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #288648 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar.

Way better looking than a Heli-coil.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #288757 JPaul (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 23 Re:Head bolt - 1, me - 0 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I've had a lot of success using Time-serts. They take a couple more of extra steps compared heli-coils but they seem to work better. http://www.timesert.com/   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
