Subject:      how much head stud corrosion is OK?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

So i was looking at the head studs on the engine i am
rebuilding and noticed that a couple of them (one in
particular) has rust.  Rust to the point it is quite
rough and scaley.


Is it ok to simply de-rust it and go from there, or is
replacement necessary (honestly, i'm probably going to
replace it just so i feel better about it, but if
people with actual experience say otherwise...).


If stud replacement is necessary, what kind of
goops/threadlocks/anti-siezes are
necessary/recommended?  Bently didn't really go into
this, that i saw - nor did it give a torque spec.


Thanks,
-Damon
