Kind of scared. 65 292 | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 164 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 164 | The studs are pressed in unless they are after market screw in studs.
Your most likely going to have to take the head to a machine shop and have them preesed out. At this time I would go ahead and have the heads machined for the screw in studs.
Good Luck,

The studs are pulled by placing a spacer under a nut and tightening the nut. You can hold the tap for the screw in studs in the drill chuck to keep it square and turn the chuck by hand with the chuck key while feeding the tap down. Cast iron taps very easily, making chips that look like coffee grounds rather than tough stringy chips like steel.
You can do it!

Drive the stud back down with a brass hammer and cross drill the boss and insert a spring type roll pin thru the boss and the stud, put some grease around the boss to catch the shavings, clean it up assemble and adjust the valve. This is how it was done before someone came up with screw in studs.

I never mentioned that the head is in my recently restored 65 k14. Turns out that the guy that rebuilt my 292 2 years ago thought it would be okay to leave a stripped stud in place and use a double nut. We found this out adjusting the valves. Anyway it's all done now. I was a little scared because this truck is done and I really didn't want to pull it down again. Sad to say ; there's a bone head in almost every crowd......curt | | |
