Sorry, I'm giving info piecemeal here and that is making this harder...
I pulled the two studs on the main rear bearing, they are M10x180mm, I also pulled the stud above the inner oil pump bearing, M8x130mm. So I need M10x200 and M8x150 replacements.
I know the shorter perimeter studs are available, but these studs are longer than 'normal', and therefore I can't find new ones anywhere.
I don't see why an 8.8 stud is any different than a 8.8 socket head cap screw.
Can anybody help me salvage my engine case?
jgparker: Yes, you need to re-seal, buy more loctite and replace all the O-rings, thats why I hope this will work next time around. On the other hand, eventually I will have enough practice that the 45 minute time limit is easy for me.
