Thanks Alistair it is appreciated..... got the block totally stripped out now but iam going to need 3 helicoils done for snapped studs i cannot beleive the studs go through the deck into the water jacket !!! i highly recomend folks replace the head studs on a rebuild unless it is known that the ones in the block are ok.... the threads were pulled on most of mine and i know i keep saying this, but the studs themselves are like toffee !!!!
