Broken Head Stud
Had a head stud break here are the details:
It is a short one located between the exhaust on 5 and 6.
It shows a little corrosion as do some other short ones.
The truck as about 15-16 degrees of timing and only an 11 plate, which produces about 39 psi of boost.
Studs have been in for less than 25k, when the head was o-ringed.
The first sign was the smell of coolant followed by a waterfall on the exhaust side of the engine.
I believe the stud are made by A1
The head is ready to lift off as soon as I get another set of hands and eyes to help me out. Hopefully I will be able to get the broken stud out without too freaking much trouble.
Anyhow, anyone else break one of these things. I am wondering if I am not better off going back to cummins bolts but I seem to remember people having trouble with them as well. Maybe changing brands of studs?
