Cylinder Head Modifications For Larger Rocker Studs #DarkMatterPikachu #FairmontProject
Check out Kalvinator Engines: http://www.kalvinatorengines.com
I purchased larger diameter rocker studs for my engine. These new studs are stronger, but we needed to make the threaded holes larger to accommodate the new studs. The old studs were 5/16″, the new ones 7/16″.
In the process, Kevin Frische shows the differences in taps, as well as a few techniques that can be applied the next time you need to tap something. These tips will help you get straight threads with less issues.
