I've got a 440 kit and I have removed the OEM studs and put them back in....bad mistake. Well one the threads in the head that hold the head studs down is now totally pulled out. Gonna have to get some oversize studs but now the question is what ones and how much.

I saw some FDO ones that looked pretty nice, and I've heard of Rocky Ridge but I can't find a phone number or site for them

let me know what you think

thanks


.....so much for using that motor this weekend

I am not sure the exact specs on the other ones but I know the FDO ones will work great. there # is 740-967-1078

so much for studs, the previous owner 400exJOE already went through this, i guess he put helicoil in one of the holes

me and my dad ended up tapping 2 of the studs and put in 7/16" bolts in, we'll find out if it works good in a few hours

if they dont hold i'll either buy a new head piece and get the FDOs studs put in it or try to find a used one
