Pulled stud update

I took the pulled stud to the local VW store and then realized it had been 'upgraded' to a coarser pitch by cutting and welding a bolt to it. Probably to fix an earlier pulled problem.

So I bought a good used stud (US$.75) and two case savers (chilean made, US$1 each) and proceeded to torque all nuts to 30ft/l, in case another one was shot, before removing the head and cylinder to fix the stud.

Of course, another stud pulled out, looks repaired in a similar fashion. Problem is, this one is 4 o clock in cyl 1, and goes through the case. I have the threaders and casesavers, but I am a bit worried of debris in this one.

Any ideas?

Ps. the case savers came with instructions to enlarge the hole to 12mm with a drill and then thread with a 9/16-12 threader (which I have)

When I did something similar my friendly old german mechanic slathered the drill and taps and whatever with grease. All the shavings stuck to the tools. I guess going slowly and being careful will help. The alternative is to split the case.

The tap is no problem. The drill... a manual drill?

Shaving foam on the hind side, no joke.... Traps even the most miniscule shavings(metal debris).

I will if I get shavings inside the case. But I am duct taping sheets of plastic to the case to collect the shavings and seal the openings. If all goes as planned, no shavings will get inside at all..

I am learning from travis' strange methods, and Jan's normal ones, it seems :)
