broke a stud... ug. 120-130

Unfortunately, it broke just where the threads start, so the end of the stud that came out only has the very start of a thread on it...

Does one have to drain the engine of coolant and oil to take the head off? I'm thinking it may be pretty hard to punch and drill the end of the stud while it's in that orientation on the engine. Seems like it could be quite a bit easier to take the head off to work on it on a bench.

I'm thinking I might as well also, since a PO had put this FI head on the B18 block. I can't sort out from all the reciepts that came with the vehical if the block was bored out either, so it would be nice to maybe measure the interior diameter of the cylinders to know what I'm dealing with. It could explain some of it's idle and load characteristics when driven.

Thanks.
