Re: rocker studs pulling out !!!!ARRRGH!!!!!
You can pull the studs with the heads and engine in the truck, tap the holes and put in the screw in stud with locktite. Remember to drain the radiator. It can be done, I think total time would be less than pulling the engine.

Are you SURE that the studs are pulling out? It happens, but I've only seen it a couple of times. |

Re: rocker studs pulling out !!!!ARRRGH!!!!!
You could pin the studs for a great deal less time and money BUT... I would definitely pull the heads to avoid any metal shavings , debris etc... getting into the engine. Bill is right on when saying to pull the heads. the time you save working at a convenient height on a workbench will be well worth the time invested to pull them off the engine. JMHO, Dean

Re: rocker studs pulling out !!!!ARRRGH!!!!!
Yeah I had this happen to me. I just left them on the motor pulled the problem stud and threaded the hole and replaced with a screw in stud. Put some grease around the area and wipe out when done. Motor ran for along time after that NO problems.
