Yes, Dremel should be fine. Just make sure its deep enough and relatively straight. And no problem! If I can save at least one person from what I went through, it was worth posting.

Okay, so basically take a grinder and cut 4 even spaced lines down the threads. This creates pockets to clean out any gunk out that is stuck down in the block. You want to run these in and out to get trapped liquid and garbage out, spray brake cleaner, blow it out and repeat until clean and the...

I believe that would not be a great idea as you will be prone to more detonation and you don't want that head gasket going bye bye. A gallon of E85 with the rest of your tank should be fine from what I have read in the forums though. I don't know as much about cars as the rest of these guys.

Thank you.. I would do it again in heart beat.. I have learned so much about my car now that I can change almost any part, barring transmissin job but eventually I want to do that too. Still running strong btw. I have driven distances over and hour and I can mash on the pedal a bit. I have not...

Thanks! It's already done. I have been driving around for a week now. I had to deal with a few leaks of oil and coolant and now I have to replace my PCV valve but it seems to be running good.

Sorry for the duplicates guys. I don't know what I was doing wrong lol.

I am back. The install was difficult as the tap was only 3.6 inches. No one told me this and well, that was all I could get out of the drilled hole. Any extensions were too large to fit. I had to do all the work myself and I documented most things. I am posting pictures so you guys could see...

I threaded in by hand and then used a split-beam torque wrench. I was also told that sometimes the aluminum blocks just have shit threads. From what I felt and saw, it was a thin slinky made out of aluminum. Helicoils are much stronger than what they install from factory. I felt a little...

Yeah, maybe I should have done it myself but at the same time, I don't want to mess anything else up. The other installs in the future I will be able to do myself but head studs may be out of my wheel house. I didn't realize how soft the threads were. Barely, and I mean barely any type of...

I installed a FMIC and ran a tune. This was for reassurance on the head lifting

Alright, so I got my engine in a engine builder's shop. They tried to charge me 12k for a new motor in a regular mechanic shop cause they did not want to deal with it. I did not know to go to an aftermarket shop. Much more reasonable. Also, from what I have been told by the tuner shop is that...

Thank you for letting me know.. I will see if they can find a time-sert for the thread pitch and size. I wonder if anyone else has done this before. if not, I will be the first one to time-sert a 1.5 block. Of course through my own mistakes.

Okay cool. If I can't afford to do all of the threads, I will at least do the number 2 stud.

All good! I already have a place in mind and I have a close friend who knows someone that has been in the game 40 years. He should know a thing or two.

Hi All, I am pretty new to car stuff and made the mistake of trying to install my own ARP Head studs.. I got my 27Won FMIC in myself and got overconfident. So it is the thread for stud #2. It kept feeling weird to twist it down there and I kept having to back it out and then lo and behold...
