cylinder head studs

Forums

could anyone tell me if the two 3/8th studs at the front of the head are cycle thread or BSF as mine have stripped in the head and i need to order a helicoil kit.

They will be a coarser thread in alloy.   possibly whitworth or UNC.   Check on RGMs site.

Thanks for that info guys much appreciated i will get on and order some now.

Was not a problem on Dommies with whitworth threads, I suspect its more to do with the shockingly poor  alloy  casting quality  that  I found on heads from Plumstead . Had to file off casting flash and bead blast to close open pores and  get a passable finish.
