a 3/8" (i believe) 12point socket will fit over the end so you can attach an extension.

wrong forum?

Some of us around here are preferential to the information found in one sub-forum compared to the next, and we put more "faith" in the advice given by the regulars of that area. If I had a boosted EG, I would come here for mechanical issues or speciality tools before I went to the EG/EK forum.

 

thanks

after thinking about it

is the tapper long enough to fit down the hole and still put a socket on it?
i tried placing a 3/8 socket over the hole but its too big

 

sounds like your head is still on. you will probably have to take it off.

 

nah the head is off

 

you shouldnt have any problems then

 

does anyone know hte length of the tap from snap on?

 

If you have problems with the studs not fitting tight, as I have seen many times after a repair job, I would look into Time-Serts, they make a head repair kit for the B series-D-Series motors, comes with all the tools needed, and I have used these threaded sleeves on 1000HP setups with NO lift from the head. I hear people using heli-coil, but I wouldnt use them on a head stud hole, they are to weak.. This may help it may not... :D

 

3 or 4 of the threads are stripped already.. one broke within 10lb of tq , the other two broke going into 50lb
i got a timesert kit coming to me sometime next week to fix them

but i want to chase the thread on the other ones to make sure they are perfect

 

Take an OEM head bolt, and make cuts along the threads with a cut off wheel in a Dremel. You want to make 4 cuts perpendicular to the threads, and the full length of the threads, so it kinda looks like a tap. I should take some pictures of what I mean. If I get the chance, I'll do that tomorrow morning.
