Awwwwww man... How typical.. Head Stud gone?
Well after checking the torque settings on my lower nuts on Drivers side (RHD) (non exhaust side) I have noticed that one of the studs was slightly longer on the top rows of nuts... I pressed it with my fingers and it wiggled... So I assume that the head stud has broken. None of the others move.
A valve adjustment was done 6 months ago (and the car has only just been driven, probably a total off 200 K's) after the adjustment, and the stud was okay then.
I am pretty certain it is broken.
I have checked all the other studs (as best possible) and they are all fine. I guess you don't know until you pull of the valve cover.
If the stud is broken, I will need the engine rebuilt I assume, or at least what are my options?
