Subject:      Exhaust stud replacement on heads
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Good Morning all...

I have been searching the archives, but have  not found any repair advice on
replacing the exhaust studs on the waterleaker heads. we need to rebuild a
set I have and have done one with helicoil, but wondered if there is a more
proper/better way to do this. how do the professional shops do this?
especially lining up the drill/press to drill a proper hole. also, how deep
can you go before striking water!
thanks, Thomas
