Re: Broken head studs
Your problem is probably caused by the block cast iron heat sinking the temp out and the weld not penetrating. Try heating the area around the stud and the stud slightly orange and immediately lay a plain steel washer with a 1/2 inch hole on the stud and weld it as fast as you can. Weld an old clean head nut to the washer and use an impact to remove it. Works for me every time.

Re: Broken head studs
Welder came with them, I just haven't bought a bottle of gas yet. I'm not a fan of the flux core, but it's what I have in the shop right now. Gotta save my pennies for a while.

Re: Broken head studs
The washer and welded nut trick works pretty good, I heat it up and then hit it with water,
it works very well. That said I have gone to drilling in the mill if I have more than one to do in a block. I had a Desoto block the owner had tried to remove his own studs and had broken six of them off in the block. If you use a mill with a DRO (digital readout) you can accurately hit every stud. I use an end mill to flatten the broken stud off. Then center drill the stud, then hit it with an end mill to get the stud out. I did all six in about a half hour. |
