Default Re: Oil In My Water

I've found why I have oil in my water chamber. My number 8 head-stud is stripped, I can not get it to torque. I found it with a double-nut -- so I thought the second one was for holding the distrubtor cable off the head. It wasn't exactly that way. I took the top nut off, when I went to removed the second one, it slipped right off, so it was there as a spacer. Anyway I took the first nut and beganning threading it back on the stud, and that when I found it had an area where the threads in the head stud was stripped. This has to be the problem--
Thanks Everyone for the advise
