ATOMIC 4 ENGINE
Hello
I recently took the exhaust manifold off my A-4 engine and the studs from the block came out also. I bought a stud replacement kit from Moyer marine but the threaded end going into the block is 7/16 and the hole in the block is about 5/8. Does anyone know how or if I can replace the stud with such a large hole in the block. Is there a bushing of some sort that would expand when threaded? If this fix is all a pipe dream does anyone know where I can get a used block that is rebuildable. Or a used engine in running condition? Thanks for any help Eric :crybaby: |

Eric,
What you are saying just does not make any sense. There is No Way to et a 5/8 stud through an A4 manifold. I think you need to look very carefully at what came out. Maybe PO used thread inserts when he broke off the studs when he took it apart. This instead of getting the broken studs EDMed or otherwise removed.

sounds like it had a helicoil insert installed that came out with the
stud. Take a good look at your old studs to be sure. You can get helicoil inserts at any automotive supplier.
