I, too, suspect the metalurgy of the head studs, I didn't break any, but I didn't like their "feel" under torque. It shouldn't be possible to break an M-8 at...
... Hmm. This begs the question: would you rather break a stud or pull out the threads? I wonder if it would help to have the stud threads helicoiled? Cheers ...

It sounds like fixing pulled out threads will be a major project. A few weeks ago using a click torque wrench I gradualy tightened each nut on my '02 in an X ...
I had the same stud pull out. It's shorter than the other 5, perhaps 2" long, as it threads into the cylinder, not into the crankcase. A helicoil is a spring,...

I have lapped my head to the new 535 alloy barrel. I believe I have done a good job on it. I worked about 3 hours on it and see no high spots and the fit...
