[QUOTE="georgeyv, post: 574296, member: 22226"] Hi all - The sump studs on my engine have seen better days - I bought it as a recon and it's running great but when it came round to oil change time, the studs all came out with the nuts, most of them had coils of metal on them like they had been threaded - confirmed as I put it all back together and can only get them finger tight without them 'popping' down a thread and not getting any tighter - resulting in all of the oil coming out onto the floor. Less than ideal! Has anyone had success using just loctite/chemical metal type stuff as a repair when screwing in new studs? Or am I best drilling and tapping for M8 to M6 stud converters? About to pull the trigger on ordering a full set of them just to make sure I've got them if I need them. Also going to buy new M6 studs to see if I have any luck with a standard replace/loctite... Cheers! [/QUOTE]
