Title: big end studs and nuts Post by: Not Happy Jan on October 02, 2020, 06:10:17 AM I've been trying to locate some big end studs. I've tried as SBC and Rocket industries. Does anyone know where I can get some?
Title: Re: big end studs and nuts Post by: Harv on October 02, 2020, 06:34:32 AM Are you after some standard grey motor conrod big end bolts (the ones with a flat head that press in)?
I've got plenty of used ones you are welcome to. Cheers, Harv Title: Re: big end studs and nuts Post by: Not Happy Jan on October 02, 2020, 06:38:11 AM Thanks Harv,
that might be an option. The threads on mine are stretched. How many have you got? Title: Re: big end studs and nuts Post by: Harv on October 02, 2020, 06:40:58 AM You don't want to know ::).
... I stripped down six crusty engines to find a virgin, uncracked crank for my Meth Monster project. Let me know how many you need and I'll dig them out and throw them into the post.

Let me know postage. 14 Timber Ridge Port Macquarie. 2444 Title: Re: big end studs and nuts Post by: Harv on October 05, 2020, 07:09:35 AM Quick question. I found my stash of conrods, and thought I had better check before I start pressing studs out. How do you measure bolt/thread stretch in these, and what is the spec? I had a look-see through the Workshop manual and a couple of Repco refinishing manuals, but couldn't find any guidance. Figured it would be just my luck to send you a dozen shagged bolts.

The only way I could tell is when I was installing them. either the thread would grab or slip. Title: Re: big end studs and nuts Post by: Harv on October 07, 2020, 03:08:38 PM OK. Will pull some out this weekend and get them into the post for you.

Title: Re: big end studs and nuts Post by: Maco on October 08, 2020, 10:41:52 AM Maybe you can make a heavy wall spacer tube with the length of the contact length of the conrod pieces & torque the bolts & nuts up in a vyce. Cheers John
