Broken head stud anxiety
There are a lot of posts on broken head studs these days. Never paid much attention because seemed limited to SCs but now seeing more on 3.2s and prediction will get worse as they age.
I had the valves adjusted 3 weeks ago before returning overseas for work, then saw all the posts (boring over here in Japan).
If I saw earlier would have asked mechanic to check but now I'm thinking if any were broken that would have turned up during valve adjustment? Is that a correct assumption or should I give him a call to see if he checked?
Time zone differences make a post here easier than a call to the states.
Also I've noticed for a few months a slight exhaust leak sound at low speeds. Figured it was just exhaust gasket issue now I dunno.
Not the end of the world either way but would feel better knowing head studs are probably OK.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts / opinions.
Pete
