Studs Snapped, Engine Rebuild Required!
Just posted this on the general forun. I forgot there was a specific engine one!.....
I have just taken the offside (UK) lower cam cover off my engine to find four of the six studs broken. I suspect that they have been like this for a while as one of the nuts is missing so I think it was 'noticed' in the past with no action taken!
The engine runs perfectly and burns little if any oil. It certainly doesn't smoke. I want to get this rebuild right but don't want to do loads of work for the sake of it. I plan to replace every gasket I can get to so I eliminate my oil leaks, and obviously replace the studs. Is there anything else I should do whilst I am in there? I was wondering about piston rings? Also what studs should I use? I am no millionaire so some of the racing sets I have seen are out of the question. Are Porsche supplied ones OK these days?
