What's next??

I've now dropped the engine out of my '77 cause cylinder #5 had one head stud that wouldn't torque, had low compression and a leaky cylinder at the crankcase. Yep! It's a pulled stud alright one that has already been repaired once. It's pulling out the timesert!! What's next? Can this be repaired? Anyone seen this happen before?

Boy, that problem sounds like one you need to talk to some REAL experts like Bruce Anderson, or Jerry Woods, or one of the machine shops that deal with Magnesium cronkcases on a daily basis, such as Competition Engineering! It sounds to me like that crankcase is a goner!

There are a couple shops that advertise in Pano and Excellence that machine cases. You could check with them. If you don't have either magazine drop me an email and send you their 411.
