It won't let me change the title but I do want people to see how well this works. We repaired 12 studs in far less time and less money than it would have cost to tear down the motor and machine the studs out on a mill. How fast do you figure you can R&R the engine as well as the heads? Then there's machine shop time, I'd probably charge $40 per hour to drill out studs on my manual mill. Figure at least 3-4 hours to drill all the studs and pick out all the threads using a mill. Now you need a gasket set, retime the cams, set the lash and put it all back together. Six hours with a break for lunch and several smoke breaks to do all 12 studs is pretty darn good I think. Besides it's actually easier to do the the engine in the car since chips and debris won't fall into the ports and you can use the floor to push against while drilling.
