Negative never turned or broke a stud, mechanic since 77 & quite a few Mopars now and in the past. However when loosing a stubborn exhaust manifold stud i always start loosing it by turning it the wrong way! using heat will often help and you will hear a distinct click when it comes loose. Ohhh forgot im lying, yes I broke a manifold bolt on 916 heads ashamed. Heads up and on the bench, drilled it out with gradually larger drills ... and that day was done .. Easy to forget when doing wrong,, i sure hope my new n.o.s Mopar part nr 1450 750 Blind sticks will help me stay away from scratching my new white wal tyres. The show must go on. /Michael Skickat från min Samsung Galaxy-smartphone. -------- Originalmeddelande -------- Från: John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Datum: 2020-10-03 22:28 (GMT+01:00) Till: c300@xxxxxxx Kopia: Ronald Klinczar <rjklinczar@xxxxxxxxx>, David Schwandt <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Michael Sundbom <micke.sundbom@xxxxxxxxx>, Chrysler 300 List <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Ämne: Re: [Chrysler300] Wheel Studs knurl & length size wanted. Used to have a big L on stud if I remember right . Watch for it. Same with propane nuts. Idiot who did that in the name of safety has killed many people . Almost killed me when narrow neck of a tee snapped on a full tank , Fed back from second tank with first Valve off . Stupid on my part yes, turning wrong way but if right hand thread like rest of world would not have snapped it off . I knew that too , but just forgot ... due to busily thinking of screwball wrench sizes you need two of , nothing else works right but big fixed open end, usually box on other end, like a 1/32 or something different . Also goes to Chrysler fine thread bolts . Why ? Yes marginally stronger if you do not strip . But you do strip . Aka cross member to frame bolts . Aka exhaust manifold dances , still on new hemi they break , Dakota v6 it is a standard event . Hey guys , at moose , Rust happens . Does not play well with fine threads. I believe GM never used a single one , let alone Ford crudeness on everything . Not Called stove bolt for nothing. Also the tiny screws on the points and the pile of washers and wires . With the one tab spring loaded to pop the screw into infinity . Screws drop into weight space , welcome to three hours more. I used to look at that delco window distributor with envy , throw points in , open little window set dwell with an Allen while car is running But in all cases , Chrysler better engineered ( dual points , but extreme frustration , open and close it 8 times) . Enough , just how it is . Reminds me at 20 or so , was an X-ray repairman . Oil cooled X-ray tube , overheating . Suspicion of clogged hose , took one off , 1/2” put in pail . Turn on to see flow . Did not know machine locked on cooling pump for 5 minutes after turn off to cool tube after use. Immediately shut off oil kept coming , tried to fold hose etc ,1/2 hp gear pump . Pumped 100 gallons of oil onto Floor of mass general hospital ran into corridor, down stair wells , through hole in floor into IBM computer below . No one could stand in corridor . After that , I’ll take broken stud .. Sent from my iPhone not by choice On 3 Oct 2020, at 3:57 pm, 'Rich Barber' c300@xxxxxxx [Chrysler300] <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
