so i followed GT thunder's instructions that came with my new head studs and heres my result i drill and tap the left side stud. I use the green sleeve retainer and install as i get close to the specs i actually have to put some effort into tightening the stud. all good. so i figure, hey i dont have to take the cylinder off for this ill keep goin. well bad stupid move.
I do the front stud and i can pretty much move it by hand i dunno if i tapped too far or what but the sleeve retainer seems to hold it pretty solid now. so i move onto the one by the cam chain tunnel. heres wehre i get very sad i drill it out tap it and guess what even if i drill it to the specified 2.200" its too far down and now i have shavings all over inside my right case cover. so i take the cylinder off and figure i might as well do the last one but as im drilling i can see that once again the 2.200" is too deep and now i can see the drill bit thru the cylinder in between the cooling fins. but i install the stud by hand once again and didn' even need a wrench to install them.
Now my question is after i clean out my bottom end and put it all back together are these holes gonna be a problem?
Im gonna be really pissed if my cylinders' shot but i dunno is this how it worked on anyone else's cylinder please give me some advice
