I purchased a valve cover stud kit from the local speed shop. After driving the car for a few days it developed a massive oil leak from the valve covers (trashing my ceramic coated TTi's). When I removed the covers I found that 6 or 8 of the studs broke. I was able to extract all but 2 of the broken studs, and am currently faced with pulling one of the heads. If I have to go that route I was thinking about getting some work done while I have the heads off the car. I remembered reading on the board that someone was doing CNC porting of the 440 EB heads, and getting 300+cfm on the intake side. - Any suggestions for removing broken studs? I've tried a left hand hardened bit and a "kobalt" bit.
- Tips or tricks for removing burned on oil stains from ceramic coated headers?
- Who is the preferred CNC head porter? Will you take an exchange? How long does it take? Price? ETC...
Thanks, Greg

Is there any of the stud protruding from the hole? Even if its just a little bit? It would be easy to take a 5/16 nut and mig the stud to the nut.Heat the area up around the stud and it will fall out. If nothing else its possible to blow the stud out with a torch set without hurting or burning the head.

If he has Eddy heads I would not try burning the studs out.He will have instant junk as aluminum melts a lot easier than steel will.Pull the head before you screw them up.Rocky
