My Block Ruined? (Head studs gone bad) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just an update 4 of the 10 were stripped and I hadn't even tried torquing the others down yet so I am avoiding a repair kit and just decided to go with the mazworx 1/2" studs. They are pricey but at least I will have the peace of mind I don't have a band-aid covered block and head lift shouldnt be an issue. My machine shop said 100$ to drill the head and block or about 200$ to tap them all too, I can at least tap them myself if not do the drilling as well so after everything I will still be coming out around the same price as the Time -Sert kit.
