Nothing more annoying than pulling a stud from a freshly rebuilt engine.

No matter how good they look, I always helicoil ( or insert) the 3 stud holes.

The std studs are too short: not enough thread on both ends.

You can make longer studs from head bolts.



Helicoils are ok, but with inserts,  you have the choice of threads.

I use M14 x 2 mm.



Comstock is THE man, but I hear from turnaround times of several months.

It takes me a few hours for the 3 studs + inserts.

It's not that hard to do..
