Re: [doc] stud=engine out- any ideas

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Personally, and given my recent head gasket jobs I'd whip the head off 
and do it on a pillar drill, rather than attempt to drill it out with a 
right-angled adapter as I know other have managed int he past. Your head 
will need ot be faced before replacement and any decent machine shop 
doing this will be abel tot ake the stud out for you anyway. We have an 
excellent shop who did Steve's heads recently. They came back looking 
brand new.
