MrEldo97 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 IMO, with 20 years repairing aluminum Alfa Romeo I4 and V6 engines and Jaguar V12s, studs really are the way to go. I NEVER had a propblem with a stud pulling out of a block (not to say that this cannot happen). In aluminum motors with poorly maintained cooling systems; aluminum oxide can virtually cement the head to the head studs making it very, very difficult to pull the head off the block (special pullers are available). I always put a very thin coat of never-sieze on the shanks of the studs on re-assembly to prevent oxide in the future (extreme care to not contaminate the headgaskets or sealing surfaces of block and heads reqd.). The never-sieze always worked and the studs always worked. Put me down for studs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Personally, to me, if a bolt can pull, there is no reason why a stud would not pull, especially if it has to do with deteriorated aluminum Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
