I AM REBUILDING A 1983 SC 3.0. YESTERDAY, I MATED THE CAM HOUSING TO THE HEADS AND TORQUED ALL THE STUDS/BOLTS TO 80% THEN I WENT BACK AND TORQUED THEM TO SPEC. EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT: GOOD SEAL, A SMALL, UNINTERUPTED BEAD OF LOCKTITE SQUEEZED OUT OF ALL THE APPRORPAITE PLACES. BUT...WHEN I WENT TO FINAL TORQUE #17 NUT (OUT OF 18 IN THE SEQUENCR SUGGESTED WAYNE'S BOOK) IT WOULD NOT TORQUE DOWN! UPON INSPECTION, THE STUD WAS STRIPPED BELOW THE TOP 2-3 THREADS AND THE STUD WAS TURNING! I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. ANY SUGGESTION? WHAT IN THE WORLD DO I DO NOW? I HAD THE HEADS REFURBISHED BY OLLIE'S IN CALIFORNIA WHO SPECIALIZE IN PORSCHES...ANY SUGGESTIONS--I SURE WOUL DHATE TO HAVE TO TEAR DOWN 1/2 MY ENGINE, ETC...
