Re: Machinist's advice sought
Well, I took a close look at the stud. The crack only goes down to the pin hole. Surprisingly, (or maybe not since it was built as a race motor)the studs are threaded and there's no damage to the threads from it breaking off. I'm seriously thinking about just replacing the stud and living with the crack. I would drill it and re-pin it. The crack has no where to travel because it stops at the pin hole and it's only the top 1/8in. Am I crazy??
