Removing Screw In Stud
I have a Blueprint engine 355 and one of the screw in studs in the aluminum head broke off when unscrewing the nut so I could change the rocker arms. Engine has 800 miles on it. Question is is it ok to just unscrew the screw in stud and replace it? I don’t want to ruin a new head and not sure if thread locker was used or not. I did notify them but haven’t heard back yet.

Re: Removing Screw In Stud
Update per Blueprint: Just unscrewed it. Came right out. They sent me a couple new screw in studs under warranty. They were very responsive.

Re: Removing Screw In Stud
That's good to hear. I've been on the board a long time. When people first started discussing Blueprint Engines, there were a lot of negative comments. Lately I've heard some pretty positive opinions. It's good to see a company that cares about its customers and reputation.

Re: Removing Screw In Stud
Maybe a bit of thread sealant if the stud goes into the water jacket?
