| Fitting new cylinder studs
I'm about to embark on a reckless heli-coiling operation to repair a stripped cylinder stud inner thread and will be fitting 4 new up-rated studs, supplied by Baines. I'm tempted to heli-coil all 4 holes, even though only 1 is stripped (a) to make all of them equally strong and not have to go through this palaver again, and (b) to make sure they all have the same load. But what about thread locking ? Do I Loctite the coils and the studs? Or do I Loctite the coils only and wait for them to cure? Or do I do neither and just oil them up before fitting the heads and torquing the nuts?
Also, is the original torque figure for coiled threads and stronger studs valid??
